770 people surveyed. Fruit Or Vegetable? What Your Choice Says About You.

770 people surveyed
Are you a "Fruit Lover" or a "Vegetable Lover"? Do you avoid new recipes? Do you like an occasional glass of red wine with dinner? Compare your preference and yourself with 770 people who were surveyed for this report that was released by Brian Wansink, author of "Mindless Eating".
Compared to the average person, vegetable lovers:
*Think they cook nutritiously
*like and enjoy spicey foods
*Appreciate and occasional glass of red wine with dinner
*Like to try new recipes and entertain at home
Compared to the average person, fruit lovers:
*Enjoy the occasional candy bar
*More often eat dessert with dinner
*Spend very little time cooking
*Avoid new recipes and cooking
If you think about it, these results seem to make sense. While fruits are convenient veggies require time to prepare. A person who likes vegetables could possibly be more accustomed to cooking-and more comfortable with trying new recipes or the prospect of dinner guests.
Fruits tend to be much sweeter than vegetables, and people that love fruit may prefer sweeter foods, desserts and candy. Vegetables tend to run a broad range of bitter to savory in the flavor department. That's probably why vegetable lovers prefer the strong and savory taste of exotic or spicy foods and the bitter taste of red tannins in red wine.
What do you think? Does your preference describe you?

I agree. People nowadays think that a fruit roll up or fruit juice constitutes the real thing.
Granny Smith apples and lima beans are my favorite fruit and vegetable, respectively.
I don't care much for sweets, and I've never been a fruit fan. I'm one of those who plays with vegetables, washing them, cutting them, trying new recipes. But I don't care at all for red wine.
So I'd say I have a veggie profile with a scotch whiskey aspect.
Fun hub!

I must be a fruit and vegetable lover :)
Think I cook nutritiously (altho I really don´t cook so often as I should), I like both spicey and sweet foods and I love to drink red wine during the meals. But I have to agree with your conclusions and they make sense if some one only likes fruit or vegetables. The problem nowadays is, I suppose, too many people disliking both fruits and vegetables :(
