> For example, I cannot stomach green beans. Attempting to chew them results in vomiting within my mouth. The smell of them alone is repulsive to me.

Sauté them with butter, it's like a different food.

I don't tend to have butter (or margarine spread) in the house. Not to mention I would have to cook them and clean the dishes :)

I've tried them buttered, steamed, roasted, in a casserole, mixed into Mac&Cheese, and 1,000 different methods my mother tried to sneak green beans into my diet as a child. I struggle to stomach them no matter how they are prepared.

I have little concern for trying foods I dislike. I make an attempt to revisit them every few years (ie. I hated sushi as a child, I absolutely love it as an adult) but don't actively try different recipes or "force myself to like it".

The few foods I eat actively, I eat because I enjoy. The other foods I eat because I guilt trip myself into eating healthy. I'd live off nothing but rigatoni with old-school traditional Ragu sauce day in and day out if I could. But I limit that to once-a-week and figure out more balanced and healthy meals the other 6 days (if I eat at all).

Soylent would likely do wonders for my dietary health.

tarragon, heavily on green beans would be worth a shot.
