If I had a genetic variant that prevented me from eating a perfectly good
herb, I'd call it a defect.

I'll admit, when I first tried cilantro it tasted soapy and not entirely pleasant.
But repeated exposure enabled me to enjoy the flavor. Clearly, I don't have
that variant or it would still taste bad to me.

And now I can enjoy foods made with cilantro. I often use sprigs of cilantro
in salads. Maybe 10-15% of the total leafage.
