No. He loves broccoli, asparagus, lots of fruits but just never what was in
the box. He also eats frozen treats, chips and tons of meat. When he is
home I often have to fix three different meals for dinner.

I think most people do know this but they are generally referred to as
vegetables. Raw vegans say either fruit or sweet fruit. Sweet fruit being
things like bananas and pears.
