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.

A very enthusiastic THANK YOU for posting the list. I didn't make it passed the first commercial.
I particularly like tater tots wrapped with bacon.
Got to clean the broiler afterwards, but oh so worth it.
Andrew Zimmern says eating bugs, worms, testicles, and other unsavory sounding things are quite good for you.
There was a recent case where a man ate 20-30 cockroaches to demonstrative their nutritional value, but then died.
Remember Ewell Gibbons, the ‘natural’ food guy who died rather young?
Scanning down that list, apparently the resulting puking resulting from ingesting (or attempting to ingest) many of these items is a healthful habit.
I could almost do a cheese monodiet.
Haven’t noticed weight loss when I eat more cheese, sadly to say.
Good revision!
My only change to your revisions from my own taste, would to to add Kimchi.
Great.
Hoo boy! Look at the kernels on her, I’d like to cream that.
Okay, I’ll stop now.
I love salmon and avacado sushi mmmMMMMMmmm
