CNN recently polled readers on lies (or 'stories' if you prefer) they tell their kids to get them to eat their veggies and other foods in non-nugget form. A few of the old standbies are here -- spinach makes you strong, carrots make you see in the dark, etc. But readers have really contributed some funny ones that they try out on their own kids, or that their parents told them. So tell us -- what are some of the tall tales your parents told you to get you to eat broccoli, and which ones do you tell your own kids?
