Hello,I used to like vegetables until the age of 6, until I got a virus one winter, and after that moment, it became much harder for me to eat vegetables. Just seeing some of them would gross me out, and their texture started grossing me out too. A workaround was to eat soups or have vegetables mixed with other food like in couscous, other wise I would struggle with eating them, especially crude vegetables like cold tomatoes or salad which could go as far as making me throw up. But I never decided that I was suddenly going to dislike vegetables to annoy people, it happened and I could never figure why. There are explanations for fears like fear of heights or hydrophobia, but for fear of specific food I never heard anything other than it’s in your head or it’s comedy.

While a varied diet is generally good, there’s obviously a lot of things that will kill you too.
So people have pretty strong reactions to something they associate with making them sick or certain smells and stuff.
The evolutionarily dominant trait is probably being cautious about what you eat and having reactions to reject it if something goes wrong.
