Do you meant this in the context that we have been trained to eat them? or perhaps because we have been told from early childhood that veggies are good for us?

I have a daughter who loves veggies of any kind, and a son who hates them - both have been brought up to eat exactly the same thing, so I do tend to dispute the 'training' aspect here.

I don't mean this to be a sweeping generalisation, but I've noticed that it tends to be the males here who are the veggie haters, and the females who seem to like them - and I've seen this tendency a fair bit IRL too. I don't claim that it is simply due to the 'hunter/male' and 'gatherer/female' divide that prevailed amongst our ancestors, but I do find it an interesting concept.


As for me and my relationship with veggies, I do like the majority of them, but also feel that I could 'live without them' quite happily
