Thanks in advance. My body sometimes likes Brussel sprouts and sometimes not. If anything doesn't taste good to me at any time it's a signal to me that my body doesn't need/want it. Generally this instinctive sense of what the body needs/wants doesn't work with cooked or processed food. (It doesn't even work for all raw food, because much of it is different from the *original* food found in nature. Many modern foods have been considerably altered from the original through selective breeding.) Typically, the "vegetable segment" of my dinner consists of any number of the following: garlic, carrots (usually soft after about a week in the fridge), butter lettuce, romaine, Brussel sprouts, red bell peppers, cabbage (white or red), tomatos (usually roma), jicama (sweet "Mexican potato"), onion (Vidalia or other sweet), sweet potato, yam, celery, bok choy, cauliflower, broccoli, Belgian endive ("witloof"), peas, chard, corn, varous sprouts, etc. (I'm sure I've forgotten a few!) I usually have most of the above available for dinner. I sequentially eat one thing at a time. Every meal is a feast! Good luck! Frederick
