Ricky Gervais Finally Eats Vegetables Before 50th Birthday

Parents, if you’re having trouble getting your kids to each their fruits and vegetables, don’t fret. They will come around someday. Even if that day comes when they’re almost 50.
Ricky Gervais, who admits he’s not comfortable eating meat as much now that he knows about the conditions animals on farms endure, has finally started eating vegetables.
He’s 49.
He owes this green goodie success to his longtime girlfriend, Jane, who did her best to push broccoli on Ricky after mom gave up.
“After Christmas 2009 I got my act together a little bit,” Gervais said. “I work out every day now and I eat my vegetables. I didn’t eat vegetables at all until about 18 months ago and it used to annoy people.”
“I thought vegetables were boring. Jane would give me a soup or stew and I would devour everything that was meat or gravy. But I’m learning to alter my tastes and I’m liking the experience.”
Ricky turns 50 on June 25.
It’s better late than never.
Hope he celebrates with some fantastic traditional British vegetable dishes.
