Economics and the mid-life crisis have much in common: Both dwell on foregone opportunities

I Would Rather Be Unhealthy
I know it is good for me to eat vegetables. I have even gotten so I can tolerate some. But given this list, I will opt to be unhealthy:
5 Superstar Veggies
Artichokes
Radishes
Broccoli
Red chicory
Leeks
From this list, I don't mind broccoli at all and eat it often. But I absolutely hate radishes and can only tolerate the others. In the grand scheme of maximizing the net present value of my expected future utility (we all do this, whether we know it or not), I'd rather take a chance on being less healthy than have to eat more of those veggies.

Leeks are among the vegetables of the gods. Just make sure to clean them thoroughly because the gods don't clean them before you take them home from the store.
