Last One in the Pool is Chicken

Many of us believe our craving for some foods is so deep it couldn’t just be the result of how we were brought up, it’s got to be hereditary. Scientists have disagreed, and tended to believe tastes are due to culture or upbringing, but now there is some evidence of a genetic element. Scientists at the University of Cincinnati studied the food preferences of sets of twins and concluded that tastes for certain foods seem to be strongly affected by genetics. The foods that seems to strike a note in the gene pool include orange juice, chicken, cottage cheese and broccoli.
