Explain how variations in taste preferences depend on what one has been exposed to

When it comes to taste, it is certain that genetic factors contribute to a person's tendency in their taste perception and preferences. But science has also discovered that taste is affected in its majority by the experiences that the person has been exposed to, starting from when the person was in their's mother womb.

One example can be how the diet that a pregnant woman has during her pregnancy, can later affect her child taste's preferences. If the mother was eating high amounts of pumpkin during the pregnancy, it is normal for her child to prefer pumpkin flavor cereal, when growing up.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
