You probably don't want to hear this but I fully sympathize with the Veggie Victim.
I hated most veggies growing up. I didn't hate loads of other foods but most veggies just tasted seriously nasty. When I was a kid I liked carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, raw peas, corn, lettuce and green pepper. Now that I'm an adult you can add green beans, raw spinach, occasional cooked peas and onions to the list...but I don't go in much for green beans since they made me heave every time I encountered them during my last pregnancy. Stronger flavors like brocholi and cauliflower still taste super strong and unpleasant to me--I think there's a name for people like me. My mother said I spit out my first bite of veggies and no amount of eggplant parmesan changed the way I percieved them.
FYI, my mother used to force me to eat three bites and beyond the tiny nutritional benefit she was totally wasting her time because all it did was make me hate them more. I bet I logged a lot of hours sitting at the table looking for an advantagous moment to slip them into a place I could ditch them later.
Good luck. ;-) I'm not overall a super picky eater but I have to force myself to eat veggies.
