Five Things I Hate About Food
Food is nutritious substances that contain vitamins, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, or minerals. These nutrients can be ingested by people or absorbed by plants to maintain life and growth. Food sustains the life of all living organisms whether plants or animals on earth.

Innate Preference: This is where food is genetically influenced. Tastes have evolutionary roots.Every child is born with a liking of sweetness and a dislike of anything sour or bitter.
