This fantastic analogy it was sold me on signing up, good copywriting:

I understand that the analogy might work for many but I would choose boiled broccoli with olive oil and pepper over any dessert.

Yes, thank you! Same!

The form of the analogy is the important point, not the specifics.

hahaha thank you for that. I know not everyone hates broccoli as much as me :)

we all have different tastes :)

sorry about that! you are definitely right.

and thanks, thought of that myself :)
