Am I the only one here who can't chew vegetables?

I thought of the saliva thing, too.

Try steaming your veggies. You can get a simple basket steamer pretty cheaply and they are great tools. Steaming will let you cook to the desired texture and still retain a lot of color and flavor.

If you try V-8, look for the low salt kind. I think it actually has better flavor than the regular one and you probably don't need all the salt anyway.

Another possibility is vegetable soup. Do you like green salads? Purees? One of my favorite soups is to steam yellow squash or zucchini and carrots and some onion until they are soft, then whiz in a blender with a little of the cooking liquid and maybe some milk or half and half. Vary the liquid to taste. Season with a pinch of salt and some pepper. Serve hot or cold. You can do this with nearly any vegetable
