Interesting. I've been given a hard time since I was a kid for my absolute refusal to eat some of the things on that list -- grapefruit, apricot, olives, peppers, and a couple of bitter greens -- but it went well beyond just not liking the taste and into active revulsion. My refusal was taken as brattiness -- still is; Danger Man gets irritated by my "pickiness" -- but it's not like when you just don't enjoy the taste of a food, and maybe could learn to like it. It's more like my sense of smell and taste interprets it as poison.
I never thought anything of it because it's a pretty small number of foods and I'm sure I get the nutrients I need from others. But if you can't stomach ANY vegetables, I can see where you'd be concerned. I think you might want to see a nutritionist who has experience with this phenomenon and make sure you're getting everything you need, and aren't forcing yourself to eat something that might have negative effects on you.
