men of Lemmy: do you like vegetables, and optionally, what is your sexuality

eta: this question came up in the work group chat and I noticed the gay guys responded more favorably to vegetables so I'm just curious if it's an actual thing or just anecdotal

I have no data for this, so i'm just speculating wildly (and accepting this will be a unpopular conjecture):
Lemmas - Things I have data for
- Metabolic dysfunction is endemic in the population (96% westerners)
- Metabolic dysfunction impacts hormones, especially sex hormones
- Aromatase happens at elevated levels in metabolically compromised people
- This can manifest as man-boobs, love-handles, chin hair, etc
- Metabolic dysfunction is principally caused by diet.
Speculation - Things I have no data for
- There is probably some connection between sexuality and hormones
- There is probably some connection between sexuality and life-long diets
This means there might be a interesting correlation you could discover. However, I don't think anyone would fund this type of research, or publish it - it would cause controversy needlessly.
Seeing a population prefer vegetables doesn't speak to cause and effect, it could be a cultural appreciation for being healthy and vegetables are mostly seen as healthy by most groups.
