“Nader is a sixty-something year-old man raised in a household that trained him to revile the decadent pleasures that most of us enjoy.
The most famous story is that Ralph’s mother refused to serve him a frosted cake for his birthday, believing it unhealthy. After years of begging, Mrs. Nader agreed to bake the children such a delight. She constructed a beautiful cake, let the children see it, then removed all the frosting before allowing them to eat it. Parents take note: this is how to raise a bitter, twisted child.
