One cannot derive genuine pleasure from carob, frozen yogurt, tofurkey, or broccoli. They are all crappy wishful-thinking substitutes eaten solely to fend off an early death, and the failure of the health-food crowd to acknowledge this honestly is the reason why so many people turn to Ding-dongs and Bob's Fatass Frozen Partially Hydrogenated Myocardial Infarction Happy Meal in frustration. Sometimes life is mean and you have to eat salads instead of pate so you don't croak.
Just spit out the truth and tell people that, like taxes, it's just something you have to suck up, and that you'll try to make it palatable as possible. That, people can respect.

Sing is sister. I was going to say basically the same thing myself, but was behind and was too lazy to go back and look for the post.
People shouldn't try to retrain themselves to think tofu or rabbit food is just as tasty as lovely fatty meat and cheese and sticky gooey sugars. That is clearly an idiotic idea, doomed to miserable failure.
People should retrain themselves to derive pleasure from quality not quantity. Very un-American, I know, but there it is.
BR(had a LOVELY foie gras the other night, weighed no more than 2 oz and once the fat hit my bloodstream I was full, but anybody who implies that any sentient human could be "retrained" to like health food just as well deserves to have their tongue cut out)C
