    What if I don't like fruits and vegetables?
    Sorry, but your silly grin and answer was stupid!! That is, if you read it correctly "don't like" -- not "some ..." I'm 76 and don't like them, period. Not one kind or another or prepared some way or other. I have vomited when i have walked into a kitchen when broccoli are cooking!! I wish you would answer the questions asked and not your version of the question. I really would like an answer to the question as asked!! Sorry!! Trovie

Host: What if I don't like fruits and vegetables?

Elizabeth Rahavi: If you don't like fruits and vegetables, the good news is they come in so many different flavors, taste and varieties that you are likely to be able to find one that you enjoy eating. Somebody who doesn't like sliced tomatoes may enjoy having a baked tomato or some spaghetti sauce or even tomato soup. I don't particularly care for raisins by themselves but if you throw it into some white rice peel off, I will eat it any day of the week. The key is to be adventurous and to find the things that you enjoy and to prepare foods different ways until you find what you like best.
