I detest beets but the cure seems a bit impractical for some of us

I believe this is called an oxymoron.

I loved beets when I was little, and I still love them, and they never
taste like dirt. It doesn't matter how they're fixed (Harvard,
boiled, pickled), I love them all.

Pickled beets go well with over easy eggs, or as part of a cold platter with
brandy.

You can't cure what is not a disease!!!!

What a cure is needed for is the people who
*like* beets. They have obviously had some sort
of trauma in utero or perhaps an evil mutation
in their DNA which causes an unnatural desire
for beets, which were never meant to be eaten
by humans. In fact, I'm pretty sure beets
were planted here by an evil alien race back
in prehistoric times in order to facilitate the
downfall of the human race so that they could come
in and take over the planet once we had all succumbed
to beetocrosis.

See what can occur to a beet free person...unwarrented paranoia like
concerns of their DNA purity and alien plots of world domination....

Do not speak ill of the aliens. My family and I strongly resent that! If
it were not for eating beets, our blood would be green.

Makes sense to me, Kate. What I don't understand is why people who love
(pick a food) insist on trying to make others love it, too. I don't <like>
beets. Leave me alone!

My wife hates beets. I don't understand it. They are not a favourite of mine,
but I will eat them if someone serves them to me.

I have to say, the likelyhood of me ever being able to
tolerate beets (except when hidden in a good bowl of
borscht) is about the same as the probability of me
becoming pregnant.
