I learned something amazing this week. I am taking a LifeSpan Nutrition class and we are covering Lactation right now. I learned that a child's eagerness to try different foods if influenced from that early age of 1-6 months. Isn't that amazing? If the mother eats different kinds of food, through her breast milk the flavors are transmitted to the child. So sometimes women are encouraged to try different kinds of food.

What astonishes me is that, something like our wish to be more versatile in our food choices is also influenced, all be it a little bit, by something we have no control over.

Our affinity for garlic, ginger, spice, sweet or even sour is something that we have learned at a very young age.

This just puts so much into perspective.
