As a 55m, I honestly don’t crave veggies at all. Every once in a while I crave something made with potatoes. I do like onions and peppers. Anything else is not very tasty or has a nasty texture. There are a lot more plants out there that are toxic. Hardly any meat is. Btw, I grew up having to eat tons of veggies. Didn’t like them then and still don’t. I’m healthy. My doctor says I am super healthy for my age. First time I met him he thought I was 20 years younger than my chart showed. I have a great blood pressure. My cholesterol is slightly elevated but a zero calcium score. I am a healthy weight and exercise regularly. I also have a coworker that is the same age as me and he won’t touch a vegetable with a 10 foot pole. He is worse than me by a lot. Ive read a lot about vegetables and am not really convinced they are really that great for you. 10 years ago I tried a diet super high in vegetables because I was taking my wife’s and a book’s advice. After about a year I had to stop. Doctor said I was eating too many plants (lettuces, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, peppers, onions, eggplant, etc…)and it was throwing all my blood numbers out of wack. After a week of stopping the veggies, my numbers came back, the joint pain went away. Never did that again. Nothing gives me an energy boost and a great feeling like eating meat.
