Now to me NOT liking it is VERY strange to me, or considering it a "sick
food" is even more stranger, except that before certain tests, a dr.
will recommend a person eat Jell-O and broth, but I've never eaten it
just because I'm sick...very odd to me.

Jell-O is popular at all brunches around here..in small individual bowls
on the dessert table with a dab of whipped cream on top, or right on the
salad table and then is mixed with fruit. I go to LOTS of potluck meals
where I have yet to attend and not have at least one Jell-O type
salad...they are always popular and usually delicious.

Jell-O doesn't have to be served plain, there are zillions of ways to
turn it into a delicious dessert, or salad....it's wonderful stuff, IMO,
as is, or used as a ingredient for something else, but of course, you
probably never had it as a kid and would turn your nose up at it now,
and eat a bowl of beans instead, but each to his own, I say. I'll eat
your share and enjoy!
