    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.

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