I just happen to like vegetables. Probably my dad's fault. He turned about half the back yard into a garden when I was growing up, and I spent my childhood eating vegetables all the time. Even now, my children will fight over who gets the last brussel sprout.

I've found, however, that I cannot stand canned veggies. I'll eat almost anything raw, steamed, roasted, etc. But if it comes out of a can, it's already ruined.

As much as I love veggies, though, I still find vegans or vegetarians odd. If that's what they want to eat, fine. But expecting everyone to eat it is going a bit too far. (I do have a friend who won't eat any vegetables except for potatoes and tomatoes. I find him just as odd as vegetarians, too.)
