    Quinoa. I can't even say it, let alone eat it. And when I try, it always goes up between my lips, teeth and gums. CANT. STAND.IT. There is just no way to contain it. It stresses me out. And it looks like little baby fish eyes.

    Oatmeal. And don't even get me started with mixing protein powder into oatmeal. That *kitten* is nasty.

    Low-fat yogurt.

    It's been around for a long time - a marketing gimmick from the 80s and 90s. Unless you're going for a heavy full-fat, such as Greek-style or Balkan yogurt which is usually more than 6% fat, yogurt is a food that has always been lower in fat compared with other foods. But, "fat" was the new enemy of dieters in the 80s/90s, and replacing a bit of fat with gelatin and sugar was a cheap way to seduce the gullible masses into believing they were being healthier consumers. But this fad never went away and now the dairy shelves have been taken over: 95% of the yogurt is labeled either "low-fat" or fat-free". It's disgusting junk (taste-wise) and I will always hate it.

    Skyr is made with skim milk and it's delicious, but I hate the fat free Greek yougurt.

    I cannot stand anything that pretends to be something else. I like cauliflower, when it is supposed to be cauliflower, prepared as cauliflower. Why anyone would want to pretend it is pizza, I have no idea.
    I do not eat "trendy" foods, that are hard to find, expensive, cannot be prepared in my normal recipes and have supposedly magical properties.
    From the "normal" healthy foods, I do not particularly like tomato salads, which is especially weird since I live in the Mediterranean. I have learnt to eat them after many years of trying, mostly because it is practically impossible to avoid them when I live, they are a side dish to everything.

    I'm probably the only one who's going to say this: coconut - I can't eat anything that smells like it came out of a tanning lotion bottle. I think it's a texture thing too.

    Hate most all of the healthy stuff...kale, Greek yogurt, chia, almond milk, all of the "special foods" suck.
    Only things I found I that I consider decent is skinny girl flat bread and chocolate halo top.
    I'll just eat what I like in reasonable quantities

    i love cauliflower when it's cauliflower. not when it's trying to be something it's not.

    but screw kale, quinoa, green tea, any variation of seeds (unless they're sesame seeds on a burger bun), anything with the claim that it's gluten, dairy, fat, sodium, carb, and refined-sugar free.

    Anything that you have to go to specific health shops to buy. If I can't buy from my regular supermarket I think its *kitten*. That includes chia seeds, flax seeds, protein shakes ect.

    ... I got chia seeds and protein powder at my local supermarket. They had flax seeds too but I prefer the chia.

    I enjoy reading all of these even though I love eating everything listed here LOL. It did take me some time to get used to that slimy chia seed texture though...

    Ugh my old roommate was really into juicing and for whatever reason whenever she'd add kale to the mix I wanted to throw up from the smell to the point where now, four years later, I still avoid kale.

    For me it's protein powder, and most protein bars. Also not terribly fond of eggplant.

    I love kale. I had some fresh from my garden for lunch today (mixed into some leftover rice and topped with a fried egg).
