Most days, I try to bring my lunch with me to the office. I usually pack a sandwich, sometimes a side (chips, yogurt, etc) and almost always try to include a fruit or vegetable (salad, carrots, an apple, etc).
Today during lunch, I had a coworker comment that I "always eat so healthy." She went on to say that she wished that she could convince her boyfriend to eat vegetables. Apparently, he doesn't like to eat vegetables and considers them "unmanly." I guess that I have never considered healthy eating to belong to one particular gender, but if you think about it, most food commercials targeted to men are more centered around meat (think... buffalo wings, bacon, BBQ). It makes you wonder if some men are afraid to incorporate vegetables into their diet because they fear that it makes them appear feminine (quite strange if you ask me).
Do you consider eating vegetables to be "unmanly?"

Sometimes I lurk on the diet forum here, and it always cracks me up when a guy posts something like, "My doctor says I need to eat healthier, but don't tell me to eat crap like vegetables because I am a MAN." It's dumb.

Not eating veggies would be "un" wise.
