If I did, it would be stuff like spinach, eggs, yoghurt, carrots, beans, chickpeas and fruit.

I like everything I eat.
Love all the foods mentioned above lol6 -
I eat foods I like. Why force yourself to eat things you don't like.1

They have this nasty thing in New Zealand called Silverbeet. We used to have it all the time as kids. It hasn't appeared on the table for many years, hmm. Maybe we can afford spinach now. I don't mind it with other things, but I wouldn't eat it by itself.0

Nope, I enjoy all the things that I eat.0
-
Nope. But I'm not a fussy eater either so it's pretty easy to meet all my nutritional needs with things I like.1

No. If I needed a certain nutrient from food I'd pick a food I like. I don't think there's any nutrient that only comes from one type of food.2

I don't like liver. There's no way I'm eating liver for any reason. I can't think of anything else I don't like... maybe that's my problem. I love all the foods!2
-
Nope. I don't force myself to eat anything. If I don't like it, I don't eat it.
There's never only one food that has a particular nutrient. I can get what I need from sources I actually enjoy.1 -
Absolutely not. Rutabaga will never hit my plate. My husband hates peas, and I don't think he has to eat them.
Now with Brussels sprouts, I always hated them until a friend served them in a way I had never had them prepared...and now they are a bona fide favorite!1 -
I love all foods but organ meats. I definitely won't even eat them even for health benefits.0
-
Nope...keep balanced. Love most things...will NOT touch Kale...rather have spinach.0

Have you tried cooking it differently? Or eating them raw? I hate cooked carrot but love them raw
As I live by myself if there's something I don't want to eat- I don't buy it to begin with. The same goes with food I'd know I'd binge on, like artisan breads, crisps, blocks of cheese (I buy the little proportioned ones to stop myself from pigging)0 -
Only in the sense that I'd rather have a cupcake than eat something with protein in it.2

I eat a lot of foods I don't particularly like, but there are also lots that I simply won't touch, ever. I've learned to like stuff like beans, oats, bananas and tomatoes, and I can tolerate most fruit and some raw veggies, but I just can't bring myself to eat mushrooms, kale, zucchini, and a lot of other "healthy" foods. I'd rather be hungry.0

Liver. I tend to get low in vitamin A and my doctor pushes liver. I'll tolerate a bit of liver pate but that's it.0

Nope. I eat an absurd amount of fruit and veg, but I do it because I like it. When I'm lifting, I'll sometimes grab a good vegan protein powder and toss it into almond milk, which I don't LOVE but it makes me feel steady after a work out, where a bowl of blueberries probably won't. That's about it, though.0

If a food makes you feel repulsed, sick, forced it actually probably isn't healthy for you to be eating it. Digestion is an entire process which includes the feeling of being appetized by the food and feeling positive from the experience. If your body is rejecting the food, that's not a healthy state to be in. You could prepare a food differently to make it more palatable, though.4
