So..I am just not a fan of vegetables page 3

[anna5]

I never said to eat veggies raw; as to the rest of your post, I really have no idea what you are trying to say. Not to be snarky, but is English a second language? It almost seems as though you're translating thoughts, and something is lost in translation.

No, English is my 7th language and naturally my understanding of the world is probably (clearly) extended.
What is so difficult to understand - try to place an egg, a piece of meat and your turnip on a pan and watch people eating the result.
You are right, I am allergic to propaganda and I don't write in the style "We are so wonderful - we know how to cook, vegetables in general are so wonderful, people who don't like them are "enemy of the people, crazy or ..."
There is reality. What percentage of people love vegetables and what percentage of people love chocolate, omelet etc.? Your answer is arrogant: "They don't know how to cook." They do.

Erm, to your first point- if we're going with raw- then most people are going to pick a raw turnip over a raw egg or raw meat. Saute them each in butter- turnip still sounds pretty good to me. Do each of them up in some fancy-schmancy dish. Turnip still works.

Believe it or not, I have days when I prefer my veggies instead of chocolate. Yes, I'm female. Yes, I'm right in the head. Some people don't like veggies- but I will thank you not to dismiss those of us that do.

Oh yeah- and most omelettes have veggies of some sort in them

I don't want to continue forever. Omelets don't have be with vegetables -cheese (or some meat) omelet is fine too, for example. More often than not we put vegetables there because of their nutritional value and not because of pure love of them - this is a different topic.

I'm not a big veggie fan either. I know that it can be an acquired taste, because oatmeal was for me at one point (now that I am primal I don't eat oatmeal though).

I like salad greens, onions, celery, zucchini... I think that's about it. I'll eat veggies if they're cooked into something (like an omelet), but I always find myself wishing I liked broccoli. You could try incorporating chopped ones into your omelettes or green smoothies where they're blended up and the taste is disguised by fruit, nut butter, etc.

Christina, this was my point. How often do you hear advice: "They will eat hamburgers if you disguise the taste by covering with broccoli sauce?"
How many little children cry: "We want broccoli?"

Sorry, I still have a difficult time understanding your point. The fact that you introduce weird phrases pertaining to propaganda, "enemy of the people," craziness, etc., tells me you have quite a bit of work to do to make yourself known in English.

My answer was not arrogant, and you misrepresent it entirely. IMO, you are a nasty little troll.

Good day.

The only way I can eat kale, arugula, and collard greens is blended up in a smoothie. Some other stuff I had to get my taste buds adjusted. There was a point I gagged at plain filtered water because I originally lived off Propel and Gatorade.

My opinion is, give it a couple tries a few different ways. If you still hate it, find something else. It's not a huge deal.

I dislike broccoli, but I love broccoli sprouts. They have more sulforaphane in them than the fully grown veggie anyways.

[anna5]

Sorry, Finnegans Wake (uh, oh, ah), but you lack of understanding is your (and possibly your doctors') problem not mine.
The next statement I am tempted to make (without caring whether you will be able to understand or not) will be about pretensions.
Yes, how can one understand someone who doesn't like vegetables? How is that possible? Oh horror? They are not humans.
etc. What a charming style. Check reality, friend.

Whatever, you pompous, incomprehensible arse.

No one understands you... because you're so terribly intelligent. That's it. Keep telling yourself that.
