Just because a person doesn't like veggies is it that bad of a thing? Why should we judge them any different? It's just like people who don't eat meat or anything associated with meat by products. Are we the ones to judge them on that either? There are vitamins that a person can take to get those lost minerals, nutrients and vitamins.

I for one hate alot of veggies and that is my choice if I don't want to eat them. Yes I have tried them and even still there are some that I haven't tried. Why would your presuade a person to eat veggies when they don't want to? Should we start persuading people who are vegans and vegitarians to eat meat?

I don't know why people hate veggies. I love them, they are good for my body and keep my full so I won't overeat on other things or snack a lot through out the day. My friends think I'm weird lol because I eat them with every meal. But I LOVE them and Its almost summer time, and that means swimsuit time :-O. Veggies = feeling good! :-)

I supposed because as kids, they weren't "trained" to enjoy fruits or veg.
I know of a girl who grew up not eating any vegetables or fruits at all and her father does absolutely nothing about it. Now she's in her twenties and only slowly eating certain types of fruits like berries.
She has constipation all the time from the lack of fibre and going out to eat with her and her family is annoying (which is an understatement) because instead of letting her elders eat (like parents and stuff) (Chinese protocol here), she gets dibs to go first and she picks out all the vegetables and stuff - onions, mushrooms, etc - and it's just disgusting watching her.
As a kid, I didn't exactly like veg but my parents made me eat it anyway. It was either mashed or blended into my food when I was a toddler. As I grew older, if I said no, I would "earn" an extra helping of veg. So I learnt my lesson - just shut up and eat whatever that I got on my plate.
It was after a while, I realized that veg wasn't really all that bad and it tasted yum actually...even stuff like broccoli and such.
My niece who is around five enjoys veg and fruits more than meat, which is pretty admirable for someone her age. She doesn't have to be made to eat them...she actually can't stop picking out the veg and fruits even while we're preparing to cook!

Some people just don't love the taste of vegetables. When i was a kid, i hate veggies! My mom always encourage me to eat veggies and gives me reward if i eat it. She does everything just to convince me to eat veggies 'cause im very thin when i was in my elementary days. But im not a malnurished one. But now that im a teenager and also a nursing student, i realized how important it is to eat these stuffs. I'm forcing myself to eat veggies so that i could get some nutrients needed when i study my lessons everday.
