He’s living, breathing, and buff proof that eating your veggies doesn’t really matter as much as we say it does. You could throw every fact and figure at me that affirms the health benefits of eating vegetables far surpass those the benefits when you don’t eat your veggies, but still, I don’t care. I feel like the more I ask around, the more people I know who survived not eating their veggies at meal times. Even my own parents say at a certain point, it became more of a hassle to try and get us to eat foods we hated. They’d rather us eat what we liked and what we enjoyed so that we actually ate what was on our plates versus listening to us moan and groan through every meal. Not to mention, I’m sick more often than my brother is. Me, the veggie eater, cooped up in bed with a high fever or a cold or the flu more times than my veggie-hating big brother. A little ironic, don’t ya think? As part of his fitness routines, he downs protein shakes like nobody’s business but takes no other supplements to “make up” for the nutrients he’s not getting in veggies. Go figure. Further proof that not all bodies need those nutrients to live well and live heathfully. In our own mental catalogue of foods we love and foods we hate, there’s some story or association attached. Maybe you hate beans because you once got the flu shortly after eating them, or maybe you can’t stand the gross consistency of cottage cheese. Maybe you hate spinach because your childhood was tainted by long mealtimes staring down the squiggly veggie. Did avoiding these foods leave you worse off? I’m gonna go ahead and say no, they didn’t. In my opinion, the same goes for veggies. I might love them and think they’re important as all hell, but if I’ve got 6'4" proof that they’re not a life necessity, I’m not going to kill myself trying to incorporate the green stuff into every meal.
