I agree. It is not simple exposure. We are probably born with preferences or we function better eating certain foods rather than other foods.

Too, some folks like to get out and try new foods and consequently develop new tastes. Others stick with what they have always eaten. People are different. I did not eat sushi until I was 49 years old. It took a while but I developed a taste for it and now eat sushi and other Japanese food a couple of times a week.
