Yes, marry her. It's rude to propose to someone and then change your mind.
This is terrible advice. One should not marry someone because it would be "rude" not to. Should the OP have realized he and his fiance are not a good match before he proposed to her? Yes. Does a proposal lock someone in to getting married? Absolutely not.
The proposal was a mistake, but one that is relatively simple (if painful) to remedy. The marriage would be a colossal mistake of epic proportions. It is far easier -- emotionally, financially, and legally -- to get out of an engagement than it is to get out of a marriage.

I see no reason for him to break the engagement just because he eats more vegetables than her, so my opinion that he should follow through with his proposal still stands.

Yeah, that's the reason people are suggesting not to do it. More vegetables. Nothing to do wit their conflict, lack of communication, and lack of being in love. It's vegetables. Right.

I don't care what other people are suggesting. My opinion is my opinion. I'm not going to tell him to end his engagement based on what he wrote. Being madly in love isn't important to everyone. With arranged marriages, couples learn to love each other after the wedding. He says that he feels they are good for each other, so that's that. Proceed with the wedding.

Have you bothered to read his other threads, where he goes into detail about their incompatibilities?
Vegetables are not the issue...
Being miserable and ending up divorced can be avoided now; a proposal can be terminated.

Nope, I haven't seen his other threads- just this one. He asked her to marry him, so I'm supporting the decision that he already made. If you guys want to encourage him to do otherwise, that's up to you, but I'm not going to follow suit.
I agree with Summer_Rain you are asking a bunch of strangers this question.
