    Is it possible it's the way the veg have been cooked in the past. I find the southern version of many vegetables to be tasteless over cooked mush though I adore the veggies in all other versions delicious.

    Thanks again for the suggestions. Since I'm basically a meat eater, I'm thinking about working in more turkey burgers, vegiburger, etc.. I can tolerate those quite well, and it seems that they would help to satisfy my appetite. Any thoughts about meat substitutes?

    Veggie burgers are tasty, but that's just a name. They don't really provide the nutrition that vegetables do, they're usually made mostly of processed legume proteins.

    Turkey burgers definitely do not fit the bill. lol

    Seriously dude, put the vegetables in your mouth and be done with it.

    A good buddy of mine eats no fruits and vegetables. (well some veg, but stuff like pasta and potatoes.) We get chinese takeout, he gets chicken fingers and white rice (I know, I know another veg). But I hope you all get it when I say no fruits and veg.

    His doctor told him it's a non issue as long as he takes a vitamin and fiber every day.

    ????????

    Is there seriously this much confusion as to what is and isn't a vegetable?

    Also, doctors are not nutritionists.

    I love to cook brussels sprouts with bacon and balsamic vinegar, or season broccoli and roast it in the oven. If you avoid fruits/veggies then just be sure that what you are eating is not processed food and that you get plenty of vitamins and fiber from supplements
