Hi,
basically I eat absolutely no vegitables (except potatoes,and mushrooms, neither of which I think count).So basicaly I want to know how I can live healthily off everything else (please dont say that i have to start eating them....I just wont).I fear being riddled with stomuch cancer by the age of 50 so any advice?Am I doomed to die?

I am 99.9% certain, that unfortunately, you are doomed to die, as we all are.

Lol, Connie, that made me laugh =P

Liam, do you think you won't eat things like that because of the people around you, the way you were raised, and your geographical location?

For example, my grandmother from Taiwan won't touch cheese and hardly touches dairy. Now, she's in her upper 70's and pretty healthy but throughout her life she's been having zero to any dairy in her diet, and she's extremely short.

I think you can go through life lacking a few things but you've never suffered from constipation or any sort of medical health problems that you might believe are related to your diet?

I'd pretty much eat anything or try to change myself if I knew it was healthy and could help me in my life. I'm not in the mood to kick off anytime soon, that's for sure. I think I'd ask yourself if you really want to go through life like that, since it seems to bother you, and whether or not that's okay. If it is, well then I guess you won't be posting about it anymore, but if it isn't, maybe you could try to work around your phobia of the veggie kind.
