Anyone have trouble eating vegetables?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm a vegan... no I'm not "saving the animals" yes I know "plants were living things too." I'm allergic to animal protein.

I find them very unpleasant. It's not really possible for me to eat them without choking, and the flavour is such that I'd personally find it much more pleasant to smash my hand with a hammer a few times.

I love vegetables. Most processed and other foods are much harder for me to eat. The only drawback to vegetables is that, with my visual acuity, hardly a week goes by where I won't notice some bug nestling within them.

I like eating vegetables, I prefer them to eating meat in fact, with the exception of bacon and sausages, I love these even more. Although I actually prefer fruit to vegetables, I would say, in general I am a healthy eater. But then I like to do things to vegetables to make them more interesting, such as stir frying them with spices or making vegetable and fishcakes out of them, because eating plain veggies can sometimes be a little boring.

I can't stand onions and anything that has a similar texture.

when they are seperate id say its about 50/50 what i like or not, for instance letuce without anything i can eat it but it doesnt taste good but when its on bread with other things i love it. vegetables mixed with other stuff is when i like it.

Yum. I like vegies, but my tummy has a problem with it so I can't eat them.

I used to hate them....now I love them. But I think even NTs have "taste changes" in their life where their taste in food just changes for no real reason that they are aware of.

Can't stand mushy vegetables...especially canned ones.

Love a lot of raw veggies, though. Especially carrots.

I'm a vegan too. Not related to my choice to be vegan... but I hate chewing things. So I don't like stringy vegetables, struggle with salad, etc. I like soft foods, because I don't have to chew. I like things like lentil based shepherd's pie. Some veggies I just can't eat though, because I have memories of them getting stuck in my teeth... as you can imagine, I eat a lot of soups.

My son on the other hand, hates foods that he considers "slimy", and this includes some of my favourites. For example, he can't bear the texture of bananas, though he likes the taste. We work round it though...

Also, I eat very fast, to get it over with. My son eats very very slowly indeed. He'll take over an hour to eat a child's sized portion, and that's him hurrying.

Never mind, we both get our food down us.

I don't like most vegetables, but I'll eat carrots, peas and tomatoes.

Animal protien is digested differently than vegetable protien. Because vegetable protien is seperated into different packets, it doesn't have to be broken down by the kidneys, and this makes it easier for some people to digest than animal protien. Technically, nobody is allergic to the actual protien, but some people's bodies have difficulty with the process of digesting so called "complete" protiens. Unlike cats, for example, we're not obligate carnivores, and we use less energy digesting vegetable, rather than animal protiens.

So says the China Study anyway.

I like most veggies. I am allergic to cabbage and have always hated brussel sprouts. I tend to prefer veggies cooked and sometimes even mushy. I hate when restaurant or take-out veggies look nicely cooked but theyre still mostly raw and crunchy.
