    Sounds like me, except I would drink the broccoli water.

    Once you reset your palette, cutting out excess salt and sugar and cheap fats, and processed foods, you learn to enjoy the taste of whole foods all on their own. Salted ourselves to taste, which is far less than processed food will add.

        Microwave is brilliant for cooking broccoli. I want it fast, fresh and moist. You kill the flavour and the nutritional value by overcooking it in an oven.

      …there’s gotta be a healthy solution somewhere between industrially processed meals and plain microwave-boiled broccoli

        No! If you don’t take an extreme stance on this topic, you might be seen as boring!

        A toaster oven, or regular oven I guess if you’re fancy, some olive oil and a sprinkling of red chili flaked will get you done delicious roast broccoli (400°F/205°C for ~15 minutes)

          Oil makes a huge difference. Or butter. Even fat drippings, like turkey gelatin from cooking one.

            the biggest mistake of vegan food is that it uses too little fat in most cases, i think

            because “health”. meanwhile plant oil is actually healthy
