i resent the insinuuation that someone who doesn't care for a particular
food is somehow unsophisocated or immature in their tastes, it doesn't
matter to me if its genitic, as are this , asparagus and a few others,
childhood truauma, your mom made you eat it, or it looks/tastes/smells like
crap, ones food preferences have not one single thing to do with ability,
sophistocation maturity or anything else, Lee
