That's not true... were it true than you can say the same about the
hunk of meat that was cooked in liquid, do you discard the roast too?
The truth is that most of the flavor and nutrients remain in the
solids. Cheryl is another one who knows absolutely nothing about
food/cooking and has an infantile pallate.

When I make pot roast I cut veggies into rather large chunks and
usually leave the onions whole... if some pinheads don't eat those
more for me. I love braised whole onions, whether cooked with meat or
just herbed and butter... I always add extra whole onions to stews.
I like to braise whole onions with whole celery too.
