    Never understood the veggie hate, even as a kid. My brother still avoids them and he’s 30. I’m genuinely surprised he hasn’t contracted scurvy.

      I can explain. My parents just made bland, steamed vegetables. Idiots never learned to season and make vegetables tasty. Like it’s so easy.

      FYI, people who do not eat any fruit or vegetables (on the carnivore diet) do not get scurvy.

      Children are generally adverse to bitter tasting things. Hunter gatherer poison defense. Some folks are just more acutely sensitive to it.

      Usually it’s brassicas that cause that yuck reaction. Cabbage, broccoli, cale.

        My wife insists that broccoli is disgusting.

        I like it. It’s not like super flavorful or anything, but I’ll roast and salt a little broccoli for something to add to my fettuccine. She always passes and refuses to even try it.

        More for me.
