    A lot of people in the comments can’t seem to make the distinction between what they have been fed since they were little and that they are used to, and what is good, or tastes good.

      Most people who eat meat also eat some subset of vegetables and know they like/hate some other subset of vegetables.

      The human body loves getting addicted to the unhealthy sugar carbs found in some plants, but our taste buds do tend to have a healthier long-term relationship with the umami balance you get more easily from meats and seafoods.

        My comment was more about the knee-jerk reaction to new ideas and new ways of looking at things you may think you are already familiar with.

          Well, yes. It’s doubly true with food because our tastebuds tend towards liking the foods we are used to eating.
