I have to admit, I see your point. I don't find raw kale very appetizing. I think I saw you say something about how raw almonds are not so tasty, but I disagree (and I'm not talking about store bought ones). I used to love hazelnuts straight from the tree too! So I will never believe that we are not meant to eat nuts. They are very good.
Anyway, you were talking about vegetables. Actually, raw zucchini tastes fairly good, although I do admit, I like it in my raw soup with spices much better. Also, I love my salads too, and I absolutely love the taste of fresh green herbs moderation. I always loved green onions.
A bit of an argument against what you are saying, nothing authoritative, just continuing our discussion. A lot of primitive cultures eat all kinds of foods, and they are usually as healthy as can be, until civilized foods are introduced. They eat all kinds of foods, both cooked and raw, but a lot of them are processed in some ways. For example, in Central California, Indians used to eat acorns. They ground them up, and following a certain process to remove the bitterness, then made breads from them. Why would you not think that it's natural for a human being to take a food and modify it in some way? That's what distinguishes humans from monkeys. Humans started making tools and made things to fit into their lifestyle.
