why do toddlers almost universally hate vegetables, when they are so essential for our nutrition?

Why is it that almost all toddlers around the age of 2-3 have a tendency to just want carbs and hate vegetables? Especially green vegetables? I know that toddlers are fussy, like to control things, and are afraid of new foods. But why is it almost universally vegetables that they hate, when they’re so essential for our nutrition?

They realise they can make choices and manipulate you into getting what they want instead of accepting what is provided, I have a 2 year old right now turns 2 February, and I know what you mean. That’s what I see is happening he has experience lots of foods and can now know what to expect when presented with certain things but he know there are more tastier things to be had and maybe if he can get those things if he wants by having a tantrum or refuse to eat etc. what I’m trying to say is they are getting smarter and more aware of the world around them
