What is a particular "health" food that you can't stand?

I was force fed those as a child, most disgusting thing ever. They are not allowed in my house. My kids can try them, when they are older and move out!

LOL also a hater of raw kale.
But I actually have a BIG DISLIKE of cooked carrots. Can eat raw ones just fine. But that mushy texture of a fat cooked carrot is just....
If I am going to cook them....i will grate them so they hide in soups or sauces. Thats the only way they can be eaten.

Maca. Tastes like rancid mushrooms and the taste never goes away!0

Haha any eating plan that tells me to eat celery, asparagus, tuna. I skip.0

For me it's avocado. I know it's good for me but I just can't stomach it at all.2

Maybe because I got burnt out on the whole30, but for me it's coconut products. Coconut milk, coconut oil… It all tastes like freaking coconut... which is fine if you want that flavor (I like the flavor in a dessert) but not if you're trying to cook scrambled eggs in it. 7

When raw it tasted like a green, that "chlorophyll" aftertaste which I don't mind. Is that what people are finding unpleasant? What is it about kale that people find so off putting?
I think it is that it's so much less fragile and can be tough. I like it in an omelet or soup, but you have to keep in mind that it will cook down much less than spinach or chard (or turnip greens or many others), and not use to much or you can overdo it and feel like you are choking on it. I've always enjoyed it raw in salads when buying them at a restaurant, but don't eat it raw much at home.
I think the person who said it's better with something high acid is right too. I like it with lemon, and am thinking it would be a delightful substitute for collards (which are great!) in this dish I like with bacon and ACV. Plus, perfect MFP dish, kale, ACV, and bacon. ;-)3 -

I prefer lemon juice as my acid as you stated since I think vinegar is disgusting and go with lots of garlic instead of bacon since I'm a vegetarian. I love kale and liked it before it was the newest superfood.
In fact, the lemon juice/garlic combo is pretty much how I like all my greens.
Except Swiss Chard. I can't stand it. Because it tastes like beets. Which are vile.0 -

i'm with you on that one!0 -
Lettuce. Specifically iceberg lettuce, ever since I found part of a beastie in it. I dread to think where the other part of said beastie ended up (now I feel sick).
Onion. Gives my stomach a hard time.1 -
whole wheat bread2

I just bought 2 boxes of Quest bars and literally can not get them down. Not only is the texture horrible they are so dry and heavy I'm afraid I'll choak. And I can eat anything. Can't return them so had to through $50.00 in the trash!1

The only two foods I've ever tried that I didn't really enjoy are creamed corn and beets although I'll still eat them if someone serves them at a dinner. Other than that I've never found a food I didn't like.2

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.0

Black beans and olives. Why can't good.old pintos be considered healthy instead?1

Shouldn't have thrown them away. I'm sure someone you know would have loved to take them off your hands. They may have even paid you for them. People on MFP rave about them all the time and say they're so addictive, but I got a couple of free sample bars and I was so glad I didn't waste my money on them. I think both of the bars I sampled had potentially good underlying flavors, but they were overpowered by the intense, sickening sweetness and they were very "heavy," as you described. I could barely stand them. And for that price? Nah, I'll pass... 1 -
Lettuce and anything lettuce like! Just ew.1

Coconut water. I even tried the one with pineapple juice in it. Noooope, not for me! Blek!
I'm going to say that different coconut waters taste COMPLETELY different as well. I love O.N.E. coconut water, but I've had some REALLY nasty brands. But none of them taste anywhere near as good as hacking open a young coconut and drinking the water straight from the fruit. THAT is absolutely delicious, and totally different from buying it in a store in a carton or can in North America but I only get to have that when I'm visiting family back in the Caribbean.

Agreed. I've tried it about 12 different ways and it's completely nasty.0 -

Asparagus and artichoke.
I don't particularily like meat but I'll eat most except bacon and ham.0 -
Kale, Quinoa (can't even pronounce it never mind eat it), cottage cheese (looks like spew), chia seeds, coconut water. It's strange how we all seem to hate the same health foods lol x0

ONE is the one w/ pineapple that I tried last wknd. Ew. I would try coconut milk straight from a young coconut thought! Want to take me to the Carribean?
Oh I don't like the ONE fruity flavored ones, they're gross, I only drink the original. And yeah, I'll totally take you the next time I go. Road trip!
