Not me. From a kid who wouldn't eat any vegetables, I grew up into
an adult who positively craves them on a daily basis. If I had only
myself to cook for, I'd consider what vegetables I'd like to eat and
then
think about what meat would go with them.

I'm rarely anywhere that I couldn't find a place to dispose of fruit
remains.
