Yeah, I think I meant scurvy and not rickets. No, I don't drink milk.

Nope, my dentist is actually completely happy with my teeth. I had two cavities as a kid and one as an adult.

Try, try, try to find a vegetable you like. Start with carrots and a really great dip, like hummus or peanut butter or ranch. Or celery and a dip. Try the pre sliced, mini carrots or buy a small veggie tray and sample.

I wish I could help you...I happen to love every single vegetable but likely still don't eat enough of them.


OP here. Actually, I hate dips and salad dressings. Not a huge fan of peanut butter (I think I had to eat it too often as a kid and now I'm burnt out on it). Hate baby carrots. I could eat a regular carrot, and just chop it into carrot sticks. I just ... don't like it.

I eat a green vegetable once or twice a year. I feel you, OP.

Wow. I take it you have never left the States?

Are your teeth loose? That's a sign of scurvy.

You're going to die screaming... and I'm going to watch.

You're going to die of colon cancer.

But, since you aren't having any kids, it doesn't really matter. You can eat however you want -- your food choices only affect others if you are pregnant, nursing, or need to be alive to take care of kids.

I'm gonna be harsh op.

You need to grow up and eat veggies like an adult. You understand the implications of your actions, kids who refuse veggies don't.

I would find a way to eat more fruits and vegetables-- really

Ideas:
Green smoothie (almond or soymilk base, a nut butter (or not), frozen berries, fresh spinach or other green..... you cant taste it)
There are many many varieties you can make

Roasted root vegetables are tasty

You could get a juicer and juice a few times a week- lots of nutrients that way

Please do something OP... it's not healthy

I would get your vitamnin levels checked out. Have you ever?

How do you poop with no regular fruits and vegetables in your diet??


I just ... go to the bathroom, and poop comes out like every day or every other day.
