I meet them nearly every day at the markets. Perfectly normal seeming people who can't stand the sight (or taste) of a beet. Even the president put his foot down and refused to allow them in the White House garden.
What is it about this harmless vegetable that incites such strong emotions? (To be fair, I have to mention that there are at least as many people who are positively thrilled to see them cooking on the grill.)
Personally, I can't imagine hating a vegetable so much that I'd refuse to let it be planted in my garden, especially if I wasn't even relying on that garden for sustenance. I do find zucchini insipid, but I'll eat it if it's put in front of me, I'd just rather be eating something else.
