Do you like to eat vegetables? email this discussion to a friend?

Vegetables are very important in our diet. If you look at the modern food chart, you can readily see that this item is at the bottom of the triangle. This means that you can eat all the vegetables you desire without jeopardizing your health.

A vegetarian friend told me that vegetables are good for our body and soul. It is good for the animals as well, obviously, as we spare them from being slaughtered for food. My friend began to adopt a plant-based diet 2 years ago after she discovered that her family line have a history of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

I admit that I'm very selective with the vegetables I'm eating. I grew up mostly eating meat. I also prefer the well cooked vegetables as I can't stomach eating the raw one. I tried many times to go on a strict vegetarian diet but ended up gulping on my favorite steak.

I have a brother who is a meat lover and detested eating vegetables. No matter how I
forced him, he adamantly refused to eat his vegetables. Are you also like my brother who is a certified true carnivorous eater? Do you prefer to eat vegetables rather than meat? Or are you both meat and veggie eater? Do share your thoughts.


Did you eat your vegetables today?

yuppers, i have eaten lots of veggies today i had beans, squash, green salad and my favorite okras weee. Veggies are healthy no cholesterol that can make you slow down.

I envy you, myempress. I don't like okra and green salad. Don't know why.:)

A couple of years ago, I don't like to eat any vegetable or fish. But after a week stay in the hospital, all that change. We all would eat vegetable except for our 2ns brother who up till now doesn't like to eat vegetable. But our mother sometime has us over do things. She would put in too much garlic or ginger in our soup or anything else which has meat, fish or vegetable.

I also like to cook my vegetables with sauces. I really can't eat the one that's plain looking.:)

hi,friend,i think our elders made a diet shedule in india over ages back by knowing all this.We used to eat nonvegetarian for 3 days and rest of the days we eat vegetarian.Ofcourse due to globalization in india too there were many changes.But i still follow my elders shedule.I used to eat meat on sunday,tuesday and friday.Remaining days in week,i used to eat vegetable curry like pototo,tomato,gourds,cabbage,brinjal,bhendi,beans etc..


myLot reputation of 98/100. charms88 (4698)   ranked 54 out of 32,526 in mylot.com  3 years ago

I know India is popular with curry sauce. Of the vegetables you mentioned, I don't like gourd but i don't know what brinjal and bhendi are?:)


The_Col_G (38)   ranked 27,852 out of 32,526 in mylot.com  2 years ago

Brinjal is eggplant/aubergine. Bhendi (or bhindi) is okra/gumbo/lady's-fingers.

myLot reputation of 98/100. charms88 (4698)   ranked 54 out of 32,526 in mylot.com  3 years ago

Awww maire, I really can't eat raw vegetables. I guess I should be more determined to eat more "RAW" vegetables.:)


myLot reputation of 97/100. Marie2473 (5328)   ranked 60 out of 32,526 in mylot.com  3 years ago

Well as long as you are eating some, cooked or raw I thinkit is fine.. What about fruit?


myLot reputation of 98/100. charms88 (4698)   ranked 54 out of 32,526 in mylot.com  3 years ago

Now fruit is another thing. I make sure to eat fruit everyday. My favorite is mango. We have the sweetest mango here in my country.:)

We eat vegetables and fruit every day.
We usually have 2 portions of vegetables and 2 pieces of fruit each. We have meat with our dinner and a carbohydrate like rice pasta or potatoes.
In the good weather we have salad in our sandwiches with some fish or meat or cheese and in the winter we dont have the salad,just the filling.


myLot reputation of 98/100. charms88 (4698)   ranked 54 out of 32,526 in mylot.com  3 years ago

Wowww, mihimolly. I confess I don't eat vegetables regularly. I should really start eating more. I wonder though how a salad sandwhich taste like.:)

I think vegetables can be very pretty and nice to touch. However, I don't take vegetables because they don't taste good. I might eat some lettuces if they come with burgers but that's that. I will always remove those yucky tomatoes though.

I don't really like meat either. Or fish, etc unless they are fried real nice and spiced up.

There isn't really anything nice to eat.


myLot reputation of 98/100. charms88 (4698)   ranked 54 out of 32,526 in mylot.com  3 years ago

You're the same as my brother. He will only eat his favorite food. I also can't find joy in eating whenever I'm into one of those "mood."


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10401)   ranked 367 out of 32,526 in mylot.com  3 years ago

If it's fried and spiced up, it's ok.

I like to eat vegetables.I never liked non-veg food till I came to the residential school.After coming there I started eating non-veg.But still now I like veg foods much more than non-veg foods because of personal likings and health issues...But there are many vegetables I dont like to eat like amorphophallus(biological name...sorry.I dont know the common name).It just itches your throat sometimes very badly..I like almost all leafy vegetables and they are my favourite...It contains almost all vitamins=needed for the human body...

I love almost all veggies.... but I eat both. I believe the best diet is a "balanced" diet. I don't think too much of anything is really good for you. Veggies are healthy, but then you have to be concerned with taking extra supplements as well as you may be lacking in vital protein given from meat products. It all depends on how you cook things and what they are. We always have a variety on our plates at home.. veggies included. With my kids, they MUST try everything we eat. If they don't like it, fine. But they have to try it every time I cook it, as our tastes sometimes change.

Oh, I know I'm a bunny. But I can't eat raw carrot. It has to be cooked well.:)
