Do you still eat them? I realized I was never made to eat veggies, we mostly ate meat and rice. Now as a vegan I had to learn to eat veggies, I eat them a lot now.

Yes, most of them. I can't stand broccoli, peas, cauliflower, or raw celery, but every other vegetable I really like. I loved spinach as a kid and I was the only kid in my family who would eat it! But I was also a weird kid who preferred wheat bread over white and thought the crust was the best part of the bread. My tastes are still pretty much the same.

They never had to force me to eat veggies.

Though now i have to cook on my own and as an adult I do have to fight the tendency to cook only meat and carbs- and to also put veggies in my diet. But I was not a vegaphobic child. And I even ate my spinach (not sure if it was because I was influenced by Popeye cartoons or wouldve liked spinach anyway).
