More specifically: If you don't like raw vegetables, don't feel forced to eat them. You can live a long healthy life without them. Don't worry.  |
I totally agree. I have never really liked any vegetables, except for the ones that are actually fruits, or tubers, and even then animal food was always more appealing to me. I just cannot imagine my ancestors eating loads of leaves instead of say fish or meat.
