Food writer Bee Wilson hasa messageof hope for parentsstruggling to get their children to eat vegetables: “ As parents,we havea far greaterpower than we think we have to form. children ’s tastes, ” saysWilson.

In her new book, First Bite , Wilson examines how genetics(遗传 ), culture, memory and early feeding patternscontribute to our food preferences.She says that achild ’s ability to judge good food can be formed even before birth. And this insight can be helpful for parents who want their children to eat well and healthfully. “

One of the main things we know about taste is that liking is a consequenceof familiarity ，so the things that our mothers eat， even before we’ re born，affect the way we&39;ll respond to thoseflavors. When we later encounter them, they seemfamiliar. “ There havebeen remarkable studies done showing that if someoneeatsalot of garlic when she&39;s pregnant, the baby will grow up to love garlic.

Wilson, amother of three, notes that babiesare most open to trying new flavors between the agesof four andsevenmonths. But, Wilson adds, even if parents miss introducing afood during the so-called “ flavor window ” ， all hope is not lost. “

It not that the flavor window is shut and we can never learn to love bitter green vegetables. Humans can learn to love new flavors at any age, ” Wilson says.“ One of the amazing things about our relationship with food is how malleable (可塑的） it is. But we don&39;t usually as adults give ourselvesan opportunity to change. ”
