Actually, during the Great Depression, Jell-o was marketed as a way to stretch leftover fruits, veggies and meats, and again during WWII, as a way to stretch rationed foods and as a way to make pretty, elegant looking desserts using Jello and veggies or fruits grown in your "Victory Garden". In the 60s, Jello actually made vegetable flavored geletin for salads- celery, italian, mixed veggie and tomato. Blech!
In French cooking, a geletin called aspic is used in some dishes, and is often flavored with chicken, veal or beef. It usually has meat and/or veggies in it, and has been eaten since the middle ages.

I grew up with carrot and pineapple jello salad (in orange jello) but I've never heard of adding other veggies to jello unless it was an unflavored gelatin used for thickening.

I've only seen a few onions and carrots in jello... never green beans and broccoli! Which veggies are you talking about?
There are some nice congealed salads that are both sweet adn savory in one made w/ jello.
