Eating vegetables feels "pointless", does anyone actually bother

[UnbornTao]

Appearances can be deceiving. The most disgusting food in terms of taste can be the healthiest one, for example a cooked, unsalted, plain broccoli.

As an analogy, if the criterion is taste and titillation, you might prefer sugary drinks over water because the latter is tasteless and might be considered "bland", depending on your taste buds/palate. But in this example water is, as you know, the healthy option.

Vegetables aren't very filling, they're low in calories and provide various antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, etc. Whatever the latter means.

Yess i love veggies.

I don't consume vegetables anymore besides the occasional potatoes, only green-sprouts sometimes and sea greens. I found I naturally gravitate toward the fruits and not the vegetables, I have become aware that we (Homo sapiens) are frugivores by design, not herbivores. Fruits are absorbed differently, think "cellular nourishment" it will cleanse and energize you like no other food source. They contain all the things we need.

Ultimately, you must follow what feels best and true to you, it will unravel itself.

Not everyone is the same. I have been eating mostly vegan, now vegetarian, for 28 years. I never had any digestion problems in general.

I do have problems with cucumbers and curcuma. That's not a huge loss for me.

But there are people who get serious problems from eating vegetables.
