Big carnivore here, but I love fruits and vegetables. I could never be a vegetarian but life without the joys and delights of fruits and veg would be a very sad one indeed. I grew up with a great grand-mother who had a large orchard and vegetable garden and even as a child I would much rather have a ripe apricot or peach from a tree than a chocolate bar. Much, much nicer.

V8 Fusion also includes a lot of sugar and sodium doesnt it??

I am the same kind of eater. I have a biological reason, though, it's not just taste. When you hit about 40, your colon will start sending you messages that you need to halve your meat intake and double your fiber intake or two nasty words, each beginning with a "C", will flow from your Doctor's mouth about age 50... after which, you will be walking around with a plastic bag taped under your pants, and you will be praying for soft stools thereafter.

Oh dear, does this mean I'm a guy? Fruits and vegetables have never been a big draw for me. I eat them only because I *should* and to set a good example for my son. It's not working, though. Aside from broccoli, he couldn't care less for fruits or vegetables.

Grains are another story. I like breads and rices and cereals and such.

Honestly, if someone told me I could no longer have fruits and vegetables (I can't even call them that little cute-sy name "veggies" because it sounds too endearing), I wouldn't consider it a major loss. I might miss corn on the cob, broccoli and brussels sprouts a little but as for the rest of them, buh-bye! On the other hand, tell me no more meat and you'd have a fight on your hands!

I will I am a very picky eater, wouldn't be surprised if one most pickiest in the world! Probably not healthy choice at all either!

You're not the pickiest in the world! There was a documentary on TV here recently, well it was a series, going through people with odd eating habits. A girl they featured almost had a phobia of fruit and veg, and they put her through gradual exposure, starting with a strawberry, and eventually got her to eat all sorts. (The goal was to eat a banana in front of her dad to win a £20 bet!)

Like someone said earlier (in slightly graphic and scary terms) you will need to start to try incorporating some fruit and veg into your diet at some point for health reasons. If you're still fairly young, say mid 20s (guessing here), I reckon your diet and tastes will change as you get older. Mine changed radically around my late 20s. I used to be incredibly unadventurous with food but I eat loads of fresh fruit and veg now. It makes you feel so much better, it really does.

Yup......so one would think the name needs to be confusion because your body really doesn't know if it's getting some good or something bad. But as for me I don't give a flyin' rat as long as it tastes good
