Our food choices are influenced by age, gender, friends, family, cultural background and where we live. Early childhood experiences with food can be traumatizing (who liked liver and onions as a kid?), but if you decided never to try something again as an adult, then you might be missing out on some truly nutritious and, perhaps, delicious items. We avoid certain foods for a number of reasons, but sometimes it’s for the wrong reasons.
Science may have given it a bad rap (we already went through the ups-and-downs with butter, wine and chocolate), or it may taste or look gross (the thought of eating insects might repulse most North Americans, but in some cultures, they are considered delicacies). But it's time to put your prejudices aside, have an open mind and give these 50 healthy foods a chance.

Twinkies are probably on that list.I ate five a day for years and I’ve only had three heart attacks.
I can’t think of 50 foods I avoid. Avocados ... and yes, I know they’re healthy, but I hate the color.
It takes going through 51 pages?
So,,, where’s the list? Annoying site, so I stopped looking.
You don’t like your food to look like green pus?
whatsamatta with you?
I hope they are now approving chicarones. But I’ll be darned if I’m going to click through all these one at a time. I resent these articles almost as much as I do the popups
Maybe if I ate only in the dark ...
AHHHHHHHHH! I hate the incorrect usage of “healthy”. The author means “healthful”.
bttt
Is there anything more annoying than these “50 Foods” or “Top 10 Best” or “25 Most” ... lists that appear on websites that make you click through page after page after page to see what the hell they are?
Just publish the damn list, and I might buy some of the crap from the sidebar ads, but when they do this, I make it point not to even look at the ads.
I’ll have y’all’s avocadoes! I LIKE green pus! Avos are actually best when they’re *just* starting to get a little black in places... kinda like gangrene...

Lots of stuff I do like in this list, though, and it's good to see that the cholesterol fetishism is meeting some skepticism. But there are entries here that are just plain nasty. For example:
Sea Cucumber - Why we avoid it: It breathes through its anus, can liquefy its body and acts as the vacuum cleaner of the ocean.
How did we suddenly start talking about Barney Frank?
Just what kind of grass were those cows grazing on?
