Actually, I think I just don't like fruit much. I never ate it much
before low-carb. In fact, one of the things I like about low-carb is
that you don't _have_ to eat so much damn fruit.
I'm another one who's always preferred veggies to fruit.
Not that I mind fruit, just give me some asparagus over
an apple any day.
"Fruits-n-veggies" always seem to be used as one word.
For most purposes brocolli works just fine as a favorite
fruit. Up until you mention Atkins. Then folks go
ballistic like fruit is its own food group or something.
Like eating the mandatory veggies rather than fruit is
a sin of some sort. Folks are wierd.

blue moon, like every few months, I get a craving for an orange or a
grapefruit, which is strange because of all the fruits I don't like, I
don't like grapefruit the most, and I don't like oranges second most.
I don't actually dislike any fruit (I've never tried
a durian with the strong smell so I can say there
aren't any that I've tried that I dislike).
Quoted message said:Anyway, that is one craving I give into, because since I'm craving
something I don't even like, I figure there must be something in it my
body needs. And sure enough, once I eat a half an orange or a quarter
grapefruit, the craving is gone.
Cool.
My wife would rather have a fruit than a veggie alost
any time, the opposite of me that way. As a result there
are always a couple of bowls of fruit in the kitchen. I
can go months ignoring them but every so often I want one.
