Why does my Boyfriend insist that a majority of people find Vegetables Tasty?!


Question: Why does my Boyfriend insist that a majority of people find Vegetables Tasty!?
First off, being that Americans have the highest rate of obesity should say something!. Second, most vegetable are bitter, and most people don't enjoy bitter foods!. Third, whenever i go to a party or any place with buffet or food, the vegetables are always left sitting there!. Fourth, people put tons of butter and spices on it to cover up the nasty taste, which they don't do with fruits!. Obviously we need to eat them and people do!. But why does he think that more than a smaller minority of people find vegetables tasty!?

Is he stupid!? Does he not understand that most people do not LOVE vegetables and only a few do!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
You know how things taste better when you're hungry!? I think sometimes people find things tasty because their body needs them!.

also, smell is a major part of taste!. Things never taste right when you're clogged up with a cold!.

I can't say that broccoli is as exciting to me as watermelon or a great peach (not to mention chocolate), but I really like it, and there are times I really want it!. Part of that is that I've always loved the green smell, which is like fresh-cut grass if the broc isn't overcooked!. I'm convinced that part of it is that my body wants the nutrients in it!.

Most vegetables aren't bitter when they're cooked right!. Really!

Even the best food tastes better with seasonings and sauces, so you can't say that's just vegetables!. Think about it: Even people who love steak like steak sauces or putting salt and pepper and herbs on it!. People only eat chicken plain when they're dieting!. People loooove potatoes, but we usually put stuff all over them!.

I agree, people don't LOVE vegetables the way they love cheese or ice cream or meats or breads (or processed junk foods), but there are ways to make them likeable!.

And yes, there are people (not the majority of Americans or British, though), who really do love vegetables!. They exist!. Even people who hate chocolate exist!. The world is full of strange things!. Go figure!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, I actually love the taste of some vegetables!. The ones I like to eat raw or uncooked and with no seasoning are carrots, peas, corn, green beans, broccoli, celery, sugar snap peas, cucumber, tomatoes, any lettuce, and spinach just to name a few!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Meat is the best!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because HE is right, and YOU are wrong!. Everyone I know loves vegetables (including my 3 grandkids under 4-1/2)!. At all of the parties that I go to, the fruit and veggie platters are gone first! !.!. Vegetables are definitely NOT bitter, unless you're eating canned or overcooked veggies!. And, they taste best with just a touch of butter and some Kosher salt - or raw, and dipped into Ranch dressing - never drenched with heavy sauces or cheese!. !.!.!. We are not vegetarians, but have a couple of meatless dinners each week!. One of my granddaughters and 1 of my daughters just prefer to eat veggies, and eat very little meat at all!. !.!.!. It's very unfortunate that you and/or your mother know nothing at all about how to prepare vegetables!. If you cooked fresh veggies correctly, you might actually like them!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
