In my experience, what will help prepare a pallete most to enjoy "unpopular" foods (especially those deemed "healthy") is watching what else is being eaten.
Kids (or humans) are not supposed to eat food that's made entirely out of sugar. Salt, however delicious it is, is almost always over used. ... if kids are eating these kinds of foods frequently, then foods at the opposite end of the flavor spectrum are going to taste horrible to kids.
My parents certainly were not hippies, but somehow I didn't eat a lot of crap as a kid, and, in turn, I've always enjoyed brussel sprouts and other health food. Never much of a fan of uncooked onions or bell peppers, though, even to this day. So maybe I'm full of shit...
