Has your relationship with food changed from childhood to adulthood?

[OKrts98]

Are there any foods that you hated as a child but started to eat as you grew up? Or the opposite? Well, when I was a little girl, I used to hate even the smell of mushrooms, but now any food with mushrooms in it, I just love it. And it is the same with seafood. I wonder if anyone else's tastes change as they grow up?

[OldWomanBySoul]

Fast food, used to love it now I don't like it really and haven't eaten it like good 3 years

Didn't like vegetables now I enjoy most except beans and stuff

Used to hate mushrooms, now I'd only eat em if it was possible

Fried eggs/sunny side up- I once had a migraine whilst my dad was making eggs for breakfast and I was puking my guts out (didn't eat the food but it's just now associated with bad stuff and makes me nauseous) and now I don't even wanna think about it

Ketchup, mayonnaise- used to love it, now not so much

Raisins, used to eat all the time, now I won't even look at em lmao

Dry Dog food, when I was toddler I used to love eating together with my grannys dog... apparently from the dogs bowl... Now not so much lmao

Some things I was obsessed with as a child and still am: sweets, ice cream, pickled stuff, cakes and pastries, tomatoes and cucumbers, raspberries, strawberries, watermelon/melon, beef jerky, ham and porridges used to be my go to and still are if I have time and energy to make it

as a kid i hate veggies and most fruits, didn't like health foods, just wanted to eat candy and chocolate and stuff like that. for most of my childhood it was hard to make me eat stuff, i didn't like eating really. i'd finish everything in two minutes super fast so i could do something less boring. was a lot skinnier than most other kids too

now i have a tendency to overreat and stuff like that, and i like eating now :/ now have to count calories and fight the urge to binge so i dont get overweight fml. wish i could have the same relationship with food that i had as a kid. that would like be a dream. effortless skinny. also now i lovee veggies, fruits and health food. that's mainly what i eat

[Adam1978]

Yes my taste has changed, I am fine eating most things today, I was more picky as a kid. However I loved liver as a kid, today I can't stomach it. I must be starving to eat that now. But most other things I hated as a kid, I have no problem eating today. Exception in the seafood area thought, things like kaviar I dislike still.

[SawerBrown]

I didn't like fresh tomatoes as a kid because I hated the gooey part the seeds were in and the general. taste of them. I?' Enjoy them in salads now and freshed sliced from my garden but I still. don't eat them like you would an apple like some people do

[Musclegaragefitness]

Yes, my relationship with food has changed significantly from childhood to adulthood. In my childhood, food was primarily a source of nourishment and enjoyment. I didn't pay much attention to what I ate, and my choices were often guided by cravings and taste preferences rather than nutritional considerations.

This is such an interesting and cool question thanks for posting.


For me, definitely. I used to hate mushrooms, Coffee, and others. But now I love coffee and I like mushrooms 😂. Funny how that happens.

I used to eat mostly healthy meals in moderation.

But when I went to college the stress was overwhelming and I started to eat lots of bad foods to deal with the stress. So before I used to eat in moderation but now I eat in excess.

When I was a child I did not like cheese or sandwiches and now I love cheese and sandwiches. When I was a child I loved McDonalds beef burgers and now I prefer their chicken and fish unless is a Big Mac.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

With a few things, yes.. As a kid didn’t like wheat bread, liked white bread, now like wheat don’t like white..

Didn’t like tuna as a kid but will eat it now…

[nolabels]

We've been married, divorced, and now we're working on a reconciliation.

It's been going OK lately. Thanks for asking.

Kidding aside, sure, my tastes continually evolve.

[exitseven]

I have been a picky eater my whole life. I still do not like pizza of food that is buried in some weird stuff that is obviously supposed to mask the unpleasant taste of whatever it is.

[leahzrc]

I became vegan at 14 and have been vegan ever since. When I was a kid I remember eating meat and cheese a lot

[Pink2000]

For the longest I didn’t like cheese growing up. Now I love it. I was never much of a meat eater either but now I don’t eat meat at all.

[midnightmoon05]

I eat Korean meat than when I was a kid. I still prefer fish.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I never liked egg whites. Still don’t like them.

[OlderAndWiser]

I now eat more vegetables and try to stay on a low carb diet.

[Sparkie460]

I loved food when I was younger but now nothing really interests me. If I didn't have to eat to stay alive I wouldn't. I hated asparagus, beets and liver when I was younger and I still do.

[Blueeyes81]

Mostly stayed the same, with the exception of mustard and onions. I hated both as a kid and love them now.

As for all the other foods I hated as a kid , I still hate.

[tfan1]

Yes, I used to Hate collards with a passion. But now I love them if they are in a country ham seasoning 👍🙂

[itsalyssaagain]

I eat what I want now. I used to care a lot about being skinny.

[LavLavLuv]

I used to hate spicy food, chicken, ketchup, veggies, and fruits.. But now, I’m a fan 🙃

[BLP11520]

Stopped eating white bread only wheat now, eating more nutritious foods

[justabuddy]

I have noticed that my taste buds have dulled a bit the older I get.

[sage2021]

@
I recently read an article in a magazine
that was greared towards older folks. They asked if you are finding that you put more salt or more sugar on your food.
It appears the older we get, we loose some of our taste buds - so, we use more salt so we can taste our food. Sugar is the same thing.
What a bummer huh?

[chefmaster]

No, I didn't like honey and I still don't.

[Iron_Man]

No, it has not
