It's gotta stem from him refusing to eat his vegetables as a kid and his parents giving in without a fight, trading in "Alright, well, then you don't eat tonight" for "Well, what would you like to eat? Hamburgers? Okay!"
I've never met a veggie I didn't like. When I was a kid, I loved things like lima beans and brussel sprouts and spinach, and I couldn't fathom why all my friends hated them.
Also, I kind of think having a healthy appreciation of all food comes from being so poor that anything that winds up on your plate is like pirate treasure. As much as it sucks to be that poor, it sure does round a child's personality out nicely.
