True. Humans have a poor sense of smell. I am one of those
"supertasters," and that has nothing to do with taste, but purely with
smell. It isn't an asset. It leaves me more likely to overeat, and
limits my food choices in a way that makes me less healthy. I wish
that I liked the most healthful food, Brassica oleracea. I find
cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, etc. repulsive.

Animals also inherit instinct, they are born knowing what to eat and
what to reject. Humans have no instincts, some may believe they do
but they do not.

Have you tried some of the Chinese cruciferous veggies; bok choy(s),
napa, and several others... if you can't find any in your market they
are easy to grow in cool weather. Chinese cabbages are milder and
more tender, I love them, raw in salads and stir fried. There are
many more types than these few:

Wrong!!! Humans are animals, so there is no reason to suggest that they
should not also be subject to the same sorts of instincts as animals.
Most people have enough brain power and are taught enough to override
some of that instinctual behaviour.

You need to put more salt on it.

I used to be that way about vegetable oil, especially when it was
heated in a saute pan. It had such a nasty smell that it would upset
my stomach - I didn't use it for decades. Apparently, my nose and
taste buds aren't what they used to be because it doesn't bother me
anymore. I still don't use it, but not because it smells and tastes
nasty.

Nice try, but the truth is your cooking is what sickens your victims.
