There are two main reasons why people reject certain types of calories and refuse to eat certain foods:
No 1 - False idea that certain foods are bad for you... Example: meat will cause cancer, eggs will cause heart attack and bread or rice will make you fat.
No 2 - Ideological beliefs... Example: eating meat makes you a murderer and an unethical immoral person.
People fail to realize that food has only one purpose: To supply fuel and nutrients so your body can stay healthy and produce enough energy to perform it's daily physical and mental functions and repair and recover itself after strenuous physical activity such as hard labour or exercise.
