What are the "good for you" foods that you detest?

I really dislike most of the leafy greens (in their raw form for salads) except for baby spinach so I usually make my salads with iceberg which is not anywhere near as nutritious. Oddly enough I can eat steamed leafy greens with no problem at all and really enjoy them but I guess the texture of them raw makes me yack.

Don't care for crab much, but love other seafood and shrimp.

I never cared for crab much either until I got pregnant with my first daughter! lol! That was actually one of the first things that made me think I was pregnant, I was craving it and had never really liked it! Now I love it and so does my daughter


I hate onions and peppers, and most mushrooms. And mangos...I think they taste like when you spray perfume and accidentally have your mouth open! Yuck!

Guess I'm weird! There is practically no food I don't love. All vegetables, yes! Cottage cheese, fish, you name it. Love them all! Nuts, beans, brown rice, every kind of fruit: all my favs. I draw the line at stuff like escargot, caviar, haggis, or brains since I figure my problem is having too many choices already.

fish/shellfish - I can smell it a mile away and it always makes me feel nauseous. I can't sit at a table with people who are eating it, it puts me off my own meal. I have never enjoyed any form of seafood, except calimari, and even then only if it's cooked well.
mushrooms - who wants to something that grows on another type of food to tell you that it's no good anymore??? also, chewy :sick:
diet jelly - the sweeteners leave a bitter after taste! This goes for most diet soft drink too, except coke zero. also, the texture of jelly is just icky.
capsicum and onion - even if it is really finely chopped up, I have feel it straight away and will pick it out. It just feels wrong in my mouth...

After reading through the thread I feel positively good! I will eat most fruit/vegies/grains.

I don't really see the fuss on organic though... It doesn't taste any different. Maybe it's a cultural thing? Most of our produce in Australia is of high quality even if it isn't labelled organic, and I'm pretty certain that they can't use chemicals on produce crops here anyways...

I'm not the biggest fan of vegetables...kind of just eat them because we have to.
Damn, if weight gain didn't exist, the only vegetable i would be eating would be fries!

mango!! yuck - its like soap! but every other veg and fruit i pretty much love!

Brown Rice! ICK. I cannot choke it down, I either skip rice altogether or eat 1/2 serving of white.

Onions, Edamame, Spinach. Those are the worst of things people like.

mango!! yuck - its like soap! but every other veg and fruit i pretty much love!

I hate mango too!!! Totally forgot about that. It's pretty much the only fruit I don't like.

Fish! All fish, I hate the texture and the smell and the taste. I will eat Lobster, Shrimp, Crab, Scampi - but cannot tolerate any other critters from the sea.

as soon as anything sweetened with any kind of artificial sweetener passes my lips it's like alarm bells go off in my head screaming "THIS TASTES FAKE AND WEIRD AND WRONG AND IF YOU KEEP EATING IT YOU'LL DIE!!!!!!!!"

i'd rather have things that are completely unsweetened than sweetened with splenda, sweet n low, etc

Most of them...LOL...

OK, not really. Most healthy foods (except seafood) I like, but not as much as unhealthy food. I'm doing "OK" but could do better.

Standalone raw veggies and unseasoned cooked veggies (that aren't "in" something) are a challenge. I love peas, but they're about the only one I can do cooked with no butter or salt - most others I need SOMETHING to add flavor. OTOH, ...raw veggies almost seem like more effort to eat than they're worth. (that sounds horrible doesn't it?) Green beans, broccoli, carrots I like if there's a little salt or butter on them or as part of a larger dish. I like cooked tomatoes, but can only eat them raw if they're diced and in a salsa or something like that. Celery I can tolerate, but it takes a lot of chewing for so little satisfaction...It's not that I *dislike* them, its just that they seem like "nothing" as far as satisfying a hunger or craving. Spinach I can tolerate in wedding soup, spinach dip, (and on Freschetta thin crust spinach and garlic pizza...but that's pizza!)

Except peas - I could eat pounds of peas if I had them.

Salads are OK if I have dressing - I've found those "spritzer" bottles do the trick - good coverage without using a lot, and it tastes good. I can't feel full on just a salad though no matter how much I eat.

Although I will occasionally eat some fish, I generally detest seafood.

lima beans:sick:
liver:sick:

soooo many haha. all salads, seafood, beans, nuts, eggs, yogurt, milk, rice (and all the multigrain rice substitutes like couscous), peanut butter and all breads except french bread and white bagels
