Seems a hundred years ago when I was told to eat my vegetables because starving kids in China would kill for them.

Here the boogeyman was "Starving Armenians". Or "The Poorhouse" I was always accused of driving my po' little daddy into. Kids in Poorhouses had to eat gruel & suet, I didn't think either one sounded very appetising...For his part, my po' l'il ole Daddy was always threatening to take me 'n' my sister back to the Orphanage, & get his $19.95 back...They were running a special that day on spoiled merchandise, big kids that weren't cute anymore & ate too much gruel 'n' suet besides...
