How the fuck do I make eating vegetables tolerable, as someone whose palette was fucked up by having a fat white single mother that thinks fruit is good for you? Every time I try to eat a bell pepper, red or green, I can have two bites tops before putting it down, even after cutting the bitter white part out.
Am I doomed to be fucking my body up with fructose if I want vitamin C? Is there some way to tolerate this stuff that I don't know about?
Best idea I got is to toss all the vegetables I need for the day in a blender, along with enough fruit to overpower flavors I hate. Is that viable?

>>21449690 (OP)
Fruit is good for you.

>>21449690 (OP)
you don't. you just accept that in this life you have to do all kinds of shit that you really do not want to do and do them.

Have you tried grilling or stir frying them? Bell peppers benefit greatly from being cooked + caramelized just like onions

>>21449690 (OP)
Fruit is amazing for you, you fat bellend.

>>21449695
>>21449704
With a nice bottle of canola oil to wash it down with afterwards for maximum health benefits, right?
>>21449696
Well, worst comes to worst, this is advice I should learn anyway. Thank you.
>>21449701
No, I've only had them raw. But I'll give that a shot, thank you.

fruit is good for you, retard

>>21449707
You do know bell peppers are fruits right?
And from the deadly nightshade family, known for their anti-nutrient content.

>>21449707
Fruits are good for you dumbass, but that doesn't mean you should eat a fuck ton of it. You need to exercise too. We literally evolved from frugivores.

>>21449690 (OP)
bell pepper is a fruit

No one tell her that peppers are fruits and have fructose (and that fruits are healthy and she's a mongoloid).

>>21449690 (OP)
Go back to /fit/, troll. Don't you need to ice your balls, or sun them, or whatever they're doing now?

>>21449690 (OP)
try cooking them.

>>21449690 (OP)
Stop being baby

The same kind of fat shit that says "water is too boring... ''

they're cutting them off mostly

I always got conflicting information on whether bell peppers are fruit or vegetables. I assume I misunderstood something?
My potentially botching it aside, deadly nightshade is new to me, however. Will look into this, thank you in advance if it's legit and not schizo.
>>21449721
It's a good thing I never once denied the importance of exercise as well, huh? Exercise can only do so much if I'm fucking my body up by eating bad food.
>>21449728
How much do you bench?

Have a drink and calm down.

>>21449754

tomatoes are fruit also

>>21449690 (OP)
Just sprinkle a tiny bit of this on your salads. It's msg, it won't kill you that's just a meme.

>fruit vs vegetable
Jesus Christ Almighty. /ck/ is that last place I expect to see this roomtemp iq shit. Almost everything you call a "vegetable" is a fruit. Fruit is the botanical term, vegetable is a culinary term.
Vegetable is basically what we call any edible plant matter that we don't classify as "fruit". Most people would agree that lettuce and peppers are "vegetables" despite the fact there is no biological or taxonomic relation.
Generally speaking, a fruit is the thing produced by the plant to bear it's seeds which is why tomatoes, peppers, apples, and (most) berries are "fruit" but, outside of a research paper, nobody but an insufferable pseud would refer to a tomato or pepper as a "fruit" in common vernacular.
Most people would probably consider potatoes "vegetables" (or a starch if you're a /fit/fag) but they are a tuber. In the same way peas and beans are not technically "vegetables" but are actually legumes.

>>21449780
a peanut is neither a pea nor a nut

>>21449789
I considered mentioning those sneaky bastards but I was already rambling about too much shit lol

>>21449780
>trying to avoid fruits for some unknown reason.
>so eats bell pepper not knowing they are a fruit
>thinks its fine because its called a vegetable under certain circumstances

If you think fruit is inherently (biologically) bad, then all fruit is bad.

>>21449754
>Exercise can only do so much if I'm fucking my body up by eating bad food.
yeah sure. but fruit isn't bad food. fruit is good for you.

>>21449707
>comparing fruit to canola oil
you are genuinely fucking retarded, just shoot yourself.

>>21449780
Incredibly helpful post all around, thank you.
>>21449791
>unknown reason
I thought I made it clear that it was to stop fucking my body up with fructose. Pardon me if it wasn't clear.

>>21449829
>I thought I made it clear that it was to stop fucking my body up with fructose
the amount of fructose in a piece of fruit is minimal, and it's mitigated by the amount of fiber surrounding it. if you're becoming a fat fuck, it's because you're drinking too much soda, iced coffee, sweet tea, red bull etc, and eating too much candy and poptarts.
It's not because you ate too many apples, retard.

>>21449829
Seriously OP, listen to >>21449838
If you think that a coke zero is better for you than an orange because it has "less sugar" you are actually retarded

>>21449838
Well it's a good thing that, evidenced by the fact I never once brought any of that up in this entire thread, I don't eat/drink any of that, huh.
>>21449841
It's also a good thing that I didn't once make this schizophrenia-fueled strawman argument you made up in your head. Did you notice that nobody in this thread, let alone me, brought up any of the goyslop you and the other schizo are having melties about?
Christ. I may be ignorant, but at least I'm not a retarded single fat white mother getting way too defensive over her precious hecking fructose.

>>21449852
>Well it's a good thing that, evidenced by the fact I never once brought any of that up in this entire thread, I don't eat/drink any of that, huh.
if that's true, then there's no way that fructose is the cause of any of your health problems.

>>21449852
You don't even know what a vegetable is and you think sugar in fruit is bad for you. You are obviously retarded so it's safe to assume you're also a slop guzzler

I'm sorta glad that I'm not the only one whose first thought was
>those are fruit

>>21449754
In botany, fruits are plant parts containing their seeds. So cucumbers (a melon) is a type of fruit, as is corn.

You ask >>21449690 (OP) about how to make veggies palatable, but that's sorta vague. Are we talking about edible nightshades fruits (of the Solanaceae family) like the tomatoes, eggplants, and capsicums (peppers and bell peppers), or nightshade tubers like potatoes, or plant roots like carrot, or the cruciferous leafy greens (of the Brassicaceae family) like kale, brussel sprouts, or cabbage (which are like the plant leaves/buds/stems), or onion (Alliums) leaves like green onions or chives, or the bulbous onions like white onions, shallots, or garlic?

>Info to eat plants
How do we eat roots and similar? What do carrots and onions exist for? They store sugar for the plant to grow later. How do cooks use this knowledge? It tells them that they should saute/roast them to convert their sugars to something that humans will taste as sweet. Carrots, onions, and sweet potatoes are meant to be sweet. The starches (a sugar) in potatoes won't taste sweet, but starch is a great thickener; it makes soups nice and creamy, and pairs well with butter. What about fruits? Aren't they supposed to store sugar too? Yes, which means most of them are meant to be sweet. Roasting or sauteeing peppers and tomatoes and squash etc. brings out their sweet+savory flavour. Lots of em bring acidity too. Some like eggplant won't be so sweet, but cooking still makes em savory. Some like cucumber won't get either, but they got other uses. Plant seeds/fruits with thin af flesh like corn, peas, and nuts are good for sweetness or to thicken, like flour or blended cashews, or for their flavored oils to season like cumin or black pepper

So learn to saute and roast em. You can make amazing fruit sauces too like blending roasted peppers w/ salt, pepper, olive oil, and vinegar. Eating em raw ain't common.

>>21449855
I mean, if I cut seed oils and fast food out of my life and I lose over 100 pounds, but I haven't quite made it yet, then I have only so many culprits left. Only other cause I can think of is whenever I'm invited out to eat, and that's only once a month(I know this is rich, coming from the guy who's attempting to cut fruit out of his life, but since this isn't my blog, just know that I acknowledge my hypocrisy here), so I don't think it should cause issue. Therefore, fructose and deadly nightshades(seems non-schizo, from what I read) are the most likely culprits.
>>21449857
>OH MY SCIENCE SOMEONE THINKS FRUCTOSE ISN'T LE GOOD, NOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE HECKING NATURAL SUGARINOS, EAT THE INFLAMMATION-CAUSING FAT-INCREASING HECKING VALID FRUITS CHUD
Great argument, sweetheart. Please take your meds.
>>21449855
>Eating em raw isn't common
Your post is full of info that's good to know, this is REALLY nice to know. Thank you very much.

>>21449894
good to know, but this is*

>>21449894
what exactly are your health problems?
if you have fatty liver, quit drinking alcohol.
if you're morbidly obese, quit eating calorie dense vitamin poor carbs like bread and pasta.
Fruit is full of fiber which keeps you satiated for longer. I don't think a person could eat 10 apples at once if they tried.

>>21449917
His health problem is that he's kvetching retard

>>21449917
Was morbidly obese, lost at least 100 pounds. Still not at a healthy weight yet, I think my BMI's at 28, last I checked. It's an improvement, but it's not the goal.
I use sprouted grain bread for whenever I have sandwiches. I'm guessing that's still a plausible cause, even if it's better than white bread and such? Not as good as wrapping it in lettuce, of course.

>>21449894
Though most people can eat culinary nightshades, I believe it is true that there are some people who simply cannot eat them without side effects. If you're trying to narrow down your list, nothing wrong with cutting out nightshades only and seeing if you get results.

>>21449935
*this is more for like inflammation issues tho. Idk about weight loss

>>21449690 (OP)
Try lots of ways to prepare them. Steam, saute, roast, and boil all yield radically different consistency and flavor, and that's before any seasoning or accompaniment. Put them on sandwiches, try different sauces and condiments, accompany with other foods. Think about what you don't like about the pepper and consider how you can prepare it to change that quality. The easiest way to sneak veggies at a picky eater is either prepared with meat or in a sauce.

>>21449935
>>21449937
Inflammation IS a factor I'm concerned about as well, it's just that fat loss is priority number one for me. It's something I'll consider, even if it's for other reasons.
>>21449938
>The easiest way to sneak veggies at a picky eater is either prepared with meat or in a sauce.
This'll be handy for any vegetables I really fucking hate but need to eat, thank you.

>>21449894
>>21449933
If you've been a fat fuck all your life, what makes you think you're qualified to speak about nutrition at all? Actually healthy people are spitting facts all over the place in this thread, facts that appear to be bouncing off your excess flab.

>>21449977
Christ, I haven't seen this much projection since the last time I went to a movie theater. Drink some corn syrup and calm down, schizo.

There you go, it's my patented secret recipe for delicious vegetables.

>>21449707
Try doing the bell peppers and onions Italian style and having them with Italian sausages. The trick is to glaze them with vinegar and a spoon of sugar at the end.

You grow up and stop being a little bitch. Now go on /fit/ and start posting about yourself in fat people hate. Use this as an introduction post

If pic related resembles you in anyway, just kill yourself. Do the world, your parents, and especially yourself the favor
And enjoy the necrosis your legs will get from diabetes. Im sorry, enjoy "gaymer leg"
Grow up and make decisions like an adult, or have your body rot off and your skin disintegrate, and maggots make a nest in one of your mushroom folds

the answer to this question of how to make something taste better is always the answer " put in more butter" , but because I am a pimping PIMP, my answer is also " a bunch of red pepper powder"

Will give this a try, thank you.

Why were you seething enough to samefag? It's okay, anon, your sugar-loaded strawberries are right there. You can keep feeding your children them.

try roasting the peppers, red peppers are naturally sweet

>>21449690 (OP)
Just do what everyone else does and drown the vegetables in other flavors, salad dressings, bacon fat, whatever.

bell peppers are tough shit, they greatly benefit from getting cooked for two hours.
that way, simple bell pepper and onion and tomatoe (paste) make an incredible backbone for a sacue
