The silence after this post is deafening.

I'm in complete agreement with Archibald. The original poster may NOT be talking about me directly, but so many people that I know in real life have told me I am spoiled and unreasonable and unacceptably finicky because I won't eat carrots. Or cauliflower. Or shrimp. I will eat around things I don't like when…

That's how I eat and I'm 5'5 and weigh 95lbs, never weighed more than 97lbs. If she's happy with how she eats, stop making it your problem. You seriously sound like your trying to spread some sort of vegetable gospel in your comments. You love vegetables? Congrat-u-fucking-lations. Some people don't. It's not a…

You know if OP had actually said that we were spoiled children I would have rolled my eyes and moved on. It was because they specifically said we must have been spoiled as children that I responded. I have no issue admitting that some of my pickiness doubtlessly comes from my childhood but it's not at all because my…

I got about 60 comments into this thread before I decided that it's time for the bunny.

I used to hate them, because as children they would not like any of the meal lets say, but the one thing they did like they thought they should get all of it. I don't care if you only like stuffing at thanksgiving, a lot of people want some and you can have some, but not all or even most of it. I don't mind picky…

I can understand your frustration with people who call other culture's foods disgusting because that's a whole other issue regarding racism and xenophobia. But being irritated because people don't like vegetables? Why do you give a shit what people prefer to eat or not?

Why do you give a shit what someone else is eating?

Just out of curiosity, do you think you're changing anybody's mind? Clearly, you're passionate about living a healthy lifestyle but do you think insulting people who disagree with you is truly the way to go about it. Because it comes off not as genuine concern but as severe insecurity about your own opinions.

If he doesn't care about his health, why the fuck should you!? Mind your own, worry about your own eating habits. How do you even have friends? You sound like the worst kind of asshole. And to counter your original comment, the adults with more expansive palates, in my experience, have been much more spoiled as they…

How on Earth could you possibly know if it's the case for "a lot of people"? You don't. You never will. You really need to address your completely unjustified rage at people who prefer chicken nuggets to kale salads. From your comments it seems really unhealthy.

So you're allowed to express your opinion, but other people aren't allowed to express their opinion about how shitty your opinion is? Makes sense!

I'm not trying to censor you, no one is trying to censor you. Censorship would be if Jezebel deleted your comment or the government arrested you for posting it. You posted something, and people who felt insulted responded accordingly. They disagreed with you, they did not "attack" you for your personal belief. How is…

It's like I'm in the Twilight Zone with this person right now. "I'm not a judgmental person! You don't know me! How dare you say I judged people?! You're a hypocrite for judging me!" Um I read your post where you judged people. I don't think I need to know any more about you to be able to confidently state "hey you…

Just because it's your opinion doesn't mean it's not douchey and obnoxious. you made a moral judgment about people you've never met and will never meet. You can't possibly know why some don't like vegetables. Is it an unhealthy quirk? Yes, but it's also none of your business.

You didn't just express an opinion - you incited anger because you called a bunch of people spoiled children based on a food preference. Yeah, it was your opinion, but you must have known that calling people spoiled would get a reaction. Hence, troll-like comment. I probably have been on the internet too long, because…

Right? I won't eat seafood. The smell of all fish and shellfish makes me nauseous. Why would I eat that? (I will try foods previously written off if it smells good. I don't think I ever disliked something I tried based on smell. I am definitely a cautious eater, but not unreasonable!) It used to drive my husband nuts…

I try them, but I don't like them so I pretty much don't eat vegetables. And nice try with the "I'm rubber, you're glue" approach but I didn't make any sweeping blanket judgements about any group. I'm in the group you made a judgement about and so I responded to you. I didn't even make any judgements about what you…

I will eat the shit out of green beans and asparagus, prepared lots of ways, every night. I will deal with peas. I love baby spinach and tomatoes (ok, a fruit), and can handle a little celery and lettuce. I don't love peppers, but I can enjoy them every once in awhile. Broccoli can be good! But sometimes it's bad.
