    Nothing is wrong with liking what you like but you are in the minority. If you type in "grapefruit tastes" into Google, the top selections are:

    grapefruit tastes horrible
    grapefruit tastes bitter
    grapefruit tastes like bile
    grapefruit tastes like poison

    Speaking of smoothies, my wife has started making me one about twice/week. I like the taste and my body feels more energetic throughout the day. I think her typical ingredients are greek yogurt, orange juice, strawberries, honey (for my allergies), a banana, and flax seed.

    Alls i know is I dropped pancakes and grits out of the massive breakfast I eat and replaced it with more bacon and eggs, and all the good numbers are up and the bad numbers are down.

    I have tried to like grapefruit many times. If I keep trying a food I can eventually eat it and then sometimes like it. But grapefruit is as disgustingly bad today as it was when I first tried it.

    My parents love grapefruit, but I just can't do it. I think you start likeing grapefruit when you are over 50.

    Yes if you love grapefruit, that means you have reached a certain age. :D

    Bullshit. I loved grapefruit as a child. My mom even bought me one of those little curved knives for getting the fruit out. Its the membranes that are bitter, not the fruity segments.
