When I was 8, I got an assignment for a science class at school which was to get some peas and lentils to sprout and bring the resulting sprouts to class.

I failed that assignment because I ate all the sprouts on my way to class. Doing so made me feel like I was a very weird person, so I stopped. And then one day I discovered sprouts at our local supermarket.

Now I feel completely justified in eating them. Sprouts are delicious and mildly addictive. I don’t know what it is they contain that makes me incapable of stopping before I devour an entire box.
