As for apples and oranges, they're fine, and I have some in my kitchen right now, but there are SO MANY other, more delicious fruits out there! Some of this is probably a matter of access, but I bet that if someone who doesn't typically eat other fruits had a chance to try a ripe mango, blackberry, guava, etc. they'd find some new favorites and see fruit-eating as the joy that it is rather than a metric to try to meet each day. Same for vegetables -- if prepared properly, they're delicious!
I have access to all kinds of fruit. That doesn't mean I'll eat it. Right now in my kitchen I have blackberries, blueberries, watermelon, halos, oranges, bananas, and three kinds of apples. Day to day, I'm much more likely to eat tomatoes than any of those fruits. I like mango and pineapple, but I don't much care for some tropical fruits.
I reckon "delicious" is relative. Potatoes and tomatoes are delicious to me, much more delicious than say something like papaya, which I think often smells like sewer
. Onion (I think the 3rd most common veg listed in that article) is also a regular in my diet and always in my kitchen. There are always potatoes, onions, and tomatoes in my kitchen. I actually don't eat ketchup much, though there's some in the fridge.
