Learning to love or hate certain foods

CowLover111

I often think to myself "This would be so much easier if I just didn't like ______." If I were living alone I wouldn't have to worry as much, but my family always has things in the house that I wouldn't buy for myself, but once they're in the house... And for the record they won't stop buying these things for my sake.

I know it's possible to learn to like something, but I wonder if it's possible to learn to hate something. For a long time didn't like celery to the point of gagging on it. Now I can tolerate it. I also didn't like snap peas, but I just kept trying them and now I adore them. I also noticed that when I returned vegetarian after being vegan for nearly two years eggs and dairy just didn't really taste good anymore. I wonder if it's possible to replicate this experience in a faster way since I think I"m going to have a hard time avoiding oreos for two years.

Care to share experiences or suggestions about learning to love/hate something?

This absolutely works! After a while not eating something, it never tastes as good as you imagined it would.

If I eat chips, all I taste is grease. Same with most fried foods. Shop bought cake tastes fake and full of things I can't even say!

I absolutely prefer natural yoghurt (used to hate!) and berries to a slice of cheesecake. I love my homemade brown rice porridge and would never now touch a sugar coated cereal.

I don't think I could 'train' my tastebuds not to like things though.... it just happens over time
