Dinner at the dorm was so putrid that it drove me to healthy eating. Some nights the only things I could bear to choke down were the veggies in the salad bar; I'd load up with a bunch of veggies and as much crumbled egg and bacon bits and kidney beans as I could for protein. I'd never been a veggies guy, partly because Mom believed in cooking all vegetables until they were gelatinous. Anyway, I ate so much salad that I developed a taste for raw or lightly-cooked veggies and elaborate salads that has stayed with me for decades.
