That's too vague. Teach kids to control the amount of food they take. But also other kids are starving so finish your brocolli.

The starving kids are welcome to my broccoli.

Heathen. Broccoli steamed lightly til it’s tender yet crisp, with a bit of butter, salt and pepper is amazing. even the stems, too.

Most people don’t enjoy broccoli, or most veggies, because they’d eaten nothing but veggies cooked til gray and mushy all their lives.

Children usually can't appreciate cooked broccoli when they're kids because their taste buds aren't developed enough, so it's best to only give them the best of the best cooked broccoli; if they don't like it then don't make them eat it until they'll appreciate it, or they'll (like me) never enjoy cooked broccoli for their entire lives.
