I like quite a lot of vegetables. Not going to list them all here. Mostly
that is what I like and mostly that is what I eat. Nothing at all unhealthy
about that. Due to various medical problems and food intolerances there is
no point in my listing anything I might like that I can not have.

Okay. If that's what works for you. I don't work outside the home. So I
do the food. Among other things. I was pretty much raised to do my own
cooking from the age of 12 on. Actually I was cooking earlier than that.
My mom hates to cook as does my daughter. I happen to like it. I don't
really like cutting sticky things up though. But then that's not cooking.
Is it?

But as I have posted several times here they are no longer recommending that
you do that. That's a great way to get food poisoning. They now say to
scrub the outside well and discard the rind.
