My mom exposed us to a lot of different vegetables and fruits growing up, and while there are a few plant-type foods I eschew (the texture of oranges throws me off, and I've had to give up asparagus, even though I love it, because the aftermath isn't worth it), I can appreciate most veggies. And the ones that I didn't like as a kid, I'm making a point to try now that I can cook them the way I want to. For a while, I had to force myself, because I associated fat and starch with feeling easily full, and vegetables with feeling sort of...not...but now I've learned to associate the feeling I get after eating vegetables with the feeling of being healthy and not weighed down.
