Why are white people have such a conflicted attitude towards vegetables? Whether it's a pink skinned ham planet "EEEW YUCKEEEE" at the sight of lettuce, or an anorexic 30something woman with sunken cheeks and a vegan cat, it's always some kind of battle with these people.

In my family growing up we ate bitter melon and kankong and watercress and tofu and so on, with almost every meal, it was just part of normal life, we'd have fish usually or some kind of meat too. But when I bring a vegetable dish to the office and eat it in the lunch room I either get stares and people complain about the smell, or someone stands next to me and badgers me constantly about "how nice that you're being healthy" and then insists on telling me about all their medical problems (?!?)

bitter melon is fucking rank m8, how do you make it edible?

historically only the poor ate vegetables in europe.
it's because vegetables are gross and if you're rich you never needed to eat them.

You combine it with salty and/or savory flavors. Minced pork or fermented beans. Or just salt it and fry it with gram flour. Sometimes you remove the innards and other times you don't. Depends on the variety and your personal tastes.

I don't know what that is, must be some kind of Australian slang for beer?

Because vegetables ARE nasty without spices.
Pajeets have the right idea in covering them in cumin, coriander, curry leaf, masala, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, hing, fenugreek and whatever else.

Sadly, you are conflating flyovers with the rest of America. I'm sorry you had to experience that.

It's the garbage they were raised on that's influencing their aversion. I want you to go to the frozen section of a grocery store and find the cheapest bag of vegetables you can find, then throw that into a pot of boiling water until it's hot, then eat that as it is. Now imagine being forced to eat that at a dinner table every day of your fucking life because your parents think those tasteless cubes that once resembled vegetables are an important part of a person's diet.
That should help you understand why these people think this way, you racebaiting piece of shit.
