Purple_Cheetah 09/05/18 8:08:14 PM #6:	Usually because it's raw and that's unappealing. It needs something, or perhaps just age, to help. If it's seasoned, steamed, or mixed with something like cheese for broccoli or ranch and raw it's usually fine. Downside is you now get calories from the cheese and ranch dip. I blame the fact they get forced to eat the most unappealing form of it, and it becomes what they associate with all of it. I used to dislike veggies, but once I got into my teens it became tolerable/fine, such as broccoli and cheese, steamed/cooked whatever, mashed potatos mixed with corn off the cob so that you can use it as a bonding agent. There's healthier forms I've grown accustom to, but it took time to get past the barrier. I think it's because they're given flavorless unloved generic stuff and think all of it's bad. Haven't come around yet. Bet there was a vegetable you weren't thrilled with, so imagine associating that with all of em due to bad experiences. <cite>Purple_Cheetah posted [p:908185718] in why do ame...

I never said all of them have to be steamed or else. I can and have eaten raw, steamed, mixed with something else, stir fried, roasted, boiled, etc. I'm just saying that if you're a kid and forced to eat raw broccoli or something you don't like, chances are you're gonna associate all veggies as bland/terrible and not want anything to do with them. I even ate the various forms when younger, but it still took me a bit to come around to some such as a broccoli. I used to hate it, but steam it or mix in some melted cheese with steamed, possibly other forms I'll inhale it. Used to eat raw carrots, but don't care for them now. Tastes/viewpoints change. I can't say much on those that only eat steamed or nothing, but it's probably how the parents like them or finally got the kids to eat em. <cite>Purple_Cheetah posted [p:908186320] in why do ame...

Purple_Cheetah 09/05/18 8:49:45 PM #17:	Depending on what it is you can actually cook out/remove the benefit to something. For example garlic is best raw or lightly cooked. If it's cooked too much it doesn't provide its health benefit, just some flavor. Which reminds me of the first time I finally tried a bit of raw garlic. If you haven't done it yet I warn you if you try a raw piece of it by itself. I honestly thought I messed up somewhere... was a great night/day and a learning experience. I assume it wasn't an allergic reaction, because I'd probably be dead from it, but didn't expect such a numbing sting. As for other examples, many stick ranch dip on their celery, broccoli, carrots, etc which negates the calories they saved. Even salads are guilty of this when they add so much cheese/dressing/meat. <cite>Purple_Cheetah posted [p:908188144] in why do ame...
