My great-grandmother would take me into her garden -- it was huge -- and she'd feed me veggies off the vine. To this day, I'll eat more fresh, raw green beans than I will cook. Between that and parents that made me appreciate veggies or at least not leave the table until I tried a few bites...
You ever notice that most of those geek boys who turn up their noses at veggies (but not french fries) usually end up quite overweight? Either that or they get poor/a girlfriend and eat what they're given.
But wow, I'll tell ya... I never thought I'd eat what I've been eating since getting to college. Some of it comes from not being able to stomach cereal for dinner (again) and deciding to try the campus dining hall entree -- and then enjoying it. Brussell Sprouts were like that.
