Hardtack, during long marches, infested with worms.  'Nuff said.  Parents should take note and use this more local cuisine to threaten their children with.  Methinks it would be far more effective than "you know, some starving kid in Africa would love to eat those vegetables."  Too cliché, no?  What about "you know, a civil war soldier would have loved some of those vegetables.  How'd you like to end up with scurvy?"

At the least, it would give a bit more of a history lesson and teach kids what sorts of malnourished threats exist.
