Do you eat foods you dislike because they are good for you?!


Question: Do you eat foods you dislike because they are good for you!?
I don't like avocado on its own, I much prefer it as a margarine substitute BUT I know that it is great for digestion in the afternoons and makes me feel lighter if I've had one when I've gone to bed!.
I still don't like the taste though!.
What about you!?
Do you have anything like that!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, this story has a happy ending!. I always HATED spinach with a burning passion!. It was nasty, green and spongey and grossed me out!. Well, when I went veggie I realized I needed iron, and spinach has iron!. So every day I would make a face and eat some spinach with dinner!. Sometimes I'd cover it in dressing just so I wouldn't have to taste it!.
But, somewhere down the line i started to like spinach!. Soon, I could eat it plain and it tasted good!

Now I love spinach!. I eat it every day!. On sandwiches, salads, veggie burgers, if I can put spinach on it, I will!. I even eat it raw, straight out of the bag for a snack sometimes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The only ones I can think of that I dislike are mushrooms, figs and mandarins, and I would never eat those (even if someone told me that those three are the most nutritious foods on the planet)!. I'm not very keen on the taste of feijoa or tamarillo either, so I tend to avoid those, but I would try them again!.

I also tend to eat the foods I like, and like the foods I eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, that's just silly, unless maybe you're super picky and don't like much of anything!. :) I will, however, eat certain foods I don't like if they're mixed in with something else, and I can't really taste them!. Like if someone made a salad with bits of cabbage or olives in it (both foods I don't like), I wouldn't pick them out, because they aren't really noticeable!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, I love everything I eat!. There are too many nice foods out there to eat something you don't like!.
As a child I ate things I didn't like because we were "told" they were good for us!. I remember pouring milk down the sink, and being scolded because my mother saw the milk ring around the sink!. I learn from my mistakes, so the next time I washed it away!.
But now I eat what I like!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I eat some foods that i don't like because they are good for me!.!.!.I would never eat anything unhealthy that I didn't like!. I love avocado!!! I love it on sandwiches and also with lemon, oil and salt as a salad type thing! I eat lentils even though i don't like them as my makes them sometimes because she is into health foods!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't eat food that I don't like!. But, I do try to reintroduce foods into my diet that I might not have liked in the past!. Somethings that I tried in my younger years seemed displeasing!.!.!. but 8 times out of 10 when I try them again, I like them!.

Avacados taste great in guaccolmole!. also, thin sliced and powdered with ground flax seed then baked makes the BEST crispy fries EVER!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, but that is because I love healthy foods!. I don't like the taste of fried greasy stuff!. I can only really stand to eat healthy foods!. If you really don't like avocado, but you still want to eat it try disguising it in chocolate avocado pudding or in a smoothie!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

theres really nothing i would eat if i didnt like it!. to me its not worth it!. my boyfriend says i should eat celery eventhough i hate it with a passion!. he says "oh its good for you" well i like lots of other stuff thats good for you too!.!.!.so no!.!.!.and celery and peanut butter together!? who thought up that mess of a snack!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I dislike most green vegetables - curly Kale, spinach, cabbage etc - I wish I didn't!. I eat them though; I hide them in soups with vegetables I do like, and when the soup's blended I can't taste themWww@FoodAQ@Com

I hate most cooked veggies ( I prefer them raw) but I eat them cooked most of the time because we eat them mostly cooked at dinner unless we have a salad, and this is the only way I can get them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not really!. I eat what I enjoy and I enjoy what I eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. There is enough variety to where I can consume the nutrients I need from a source I enjoy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. I find foods that I do like that are good for me and eat those instead!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
