I agree. When I was growing up in the 1950's there was mostly canned
available. I hated canned vegetables, except maybe corn. My mother
would buy fresh ones in the summer and I'd eat them raw. I also ate raw
peas, freshly shelled, raw turnip, raw carrots, raw broccoli, raw
cauliflower, etc. When frozen vegetables became available she bought
them and I ate them.

I still love raw veggies. My newest craze is raw okra. It's not at all
slimy and very yummy.
