Why you only love to have junk food or why only vegetables or why only non-veg or why you prefer junk food and vegetables both or why you daily love to have ice cream or chocolate or why you like to try new food items!

There are reasons for your preferences. You can take it as if you prefer black shirt over red shirt or shoes over sandals. Humans deal with choices when they have options available. Food choices also depend on the availability of particular food item easily. "Only few will visit places to try something different which they have heard of. Others manage to fill their stomach with what they love in available food".

Food is one of the staple necessity and underdeveloped countries spend at least 50 percent of income on food, while developed countries spend less than a quarter.

We all are born with love of sweet foods and dislike of bitter flavors. But the foods we love and the foods we hate vary widely.

There are five influences on how people taste food and love to eat them later also.

1. Genetics

People are born with different levels of taste buds. Some of you might love spicy more, some love less. The combination of receptors genes varies for each person.

2. Experience

Experience of enjoying a certain type of food increases the chance that we develop positive preferences for its flavors. Babies take experience even before they are born and after their birth they taste as much as they like and start developing love for sweet dishes more as it gives no pain to their tongue.

3. Anthropology

Not all off you love bitter and spicy food, you tolerate it and even crave them with repeated exposure and being around with people who love bitter and spicy, therefore, Mexican, American, Continental, South-Indian, Chinese foods are developed depending on your rituals and mannerism.

4. Gender

Women are more likely to crave sweets and men likely to crave salty foods. Surprised! Or remembering what your taste buds like! This should be no surprise if you have even seen an advertisement for chocolate.

5. Texture

Science cannot yet fully explain why, some people hate slimy or creamy foods, without even tasting them. But you must love some texture that depends on your experience or you take impression from others’ experience.

“Note these points while asking anyone why they love spicy or sweet or creamy food, BIOLOGY OF TASTE BUDS, EXPERIENCE and PREFERENSE SAYS IT ALL”.
