But the experiment has discovered secular solutions to this problem.
It turns out there is simple and seems to be very easy to teach young people how their green and even worked in a food super bitter, such as cabbage.
All it takes is a little discipline and dedication in a few weeks, but then must be included within the year.
The point is to generate that kids eat foods that don't like every day for 15 days. After that, almost everyone eats vegetables child without complaint.
Within the framework of the great scholars of the BBC and, in cooperation with the University of Coventry eat cabbage every day for 15 days, while 80 others eat raisins and even ask around 80 pupils aged 9-11 years old.
Kale is one of the most popular food among a generation of healthy food with vegetables such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts stalks tender, but many people are bitter.
After the experience of the majority of children who eat vegetables every day showed a significant increase in this way.
In the meantime, the people in the control group showed no difference in what he likes or doesn't like kale.
Although some of them do not want to eat the dirt after the experiment, found to identify themselves as "Super tasters.
Super keyword has more fungiform papillae, which brings our ceilings in their language, and they are usually not as strong spicy foods, such as bitter Greens, blue cheese and oranges.
But parents should not give up, as the study shows, to take more time to get used to the food, which is not like them.
The study concluded that most children can be trained food special. Needless to say, "I like it", but they will be ready to eat, if you put on your plate.
Previous studies have shown that about 25% of the population in the super key, and have a strong sense of sensitivity.
At the other end of the scale, about 25 percent of the people who don't do jogging. They tend to taste good food, but need more salt, herbs and spices than others, to avoid food that tastes bland.
The remaining 50% is in the category known as arbiters and often adventurous will try new products, but will probably have some element that doesn't like
But there are other factors that can influence this proportion. Gender and ethnicity have demonstrated the ability to influence a flavor, with women, and most of the history of South America can be super button.
But the question is, whether we like the taste of not only our language because there is too much brain work process. Learn to taste the food because of the combination of flavors, aromas and the brain, we learn that the food is safe and suitable for eating.
Jackie Blissett, Professor of health behavior and change at the University of Coventry, said: "it's great to work with scientists is small and help shed light on one of the great mysteries: why do some of us may not like our cabbage!
BBC Learning scientific campaigns are a great way for young people to experiment, make the experience that much more fun interactive learning.
