Про цей епізод

Think back to when you were a kid and there was a type of vegetable you simply wouldn’t go near, let alone eat. It might have been broccoli, Brussels sprouts or spinach for example. Or perhaps another type of food like seafood, which now as an adult you actually quite like, or can tolerate at least. It’s not a coincidence; there are scientific explanations for why our taste preferences evolve with time. What tastes do children actually like most then? Does this hypersensitivity decrease with age then? Do other factors play a role in changing our food preferences?
