Hey, do I hear another Michael Pollan fan here?
I love his books, especially "Food Rules" where that quote came from.
As for the original post asking about veggies.... christiadams, I would encourage you to experiment a bit and try to have an open mind. Try new things and say "bye bye" to the attitude that you are not going to like them. I have taught myself to like a lot of things and now I am amazed that I did not like them before.
Yes, you can lose weight without eating veggies but you need them if you are going to be *healthy.*
As for what are "processed foods" - another Michael Pollan quote here... "If it grew on a plant, eat it; if it was made in a plant, don't." If it was made in a plant it is a processed food.
Give it a try.
