 We are fascinating new study tonight on taste. It's not hard to figure out why so many of us loathe1 ogling2 lovely chocolation. That's easy. But there is new science tonight and when we find some food irresistible3 and others impossible to swallow; like so much else in our lives. It maybe hard-wired, programme by our mothers while we are still in the womb. ABC's John Berman explains. 

 
It was in Look Who's talking when baby Mikey made a culinary proclamation. 
 
So you are the one that's been kicking me. 
 
Well, you are the one that ate all that spicy4 food. 
 
Well, Mikey might not know his mom was eating spicy food when pregnant, he'll probably like spicy food once forward. 
 
A study at the Monell Chemical Senses Center finds what pregnant mom eats, chances are baby ultimately likes. The womb is filled with the flavors of what mom is eating and the results, well, you can see them later. 
 
This young fellow's mom ate green beans when she was pregnant. When he tried them for the first time, his face is: Huh, not bad. Taste vaguely5 familiar. Oh, you want to give me another bite? Well, OK. Now, compare that with this dude, whose mother did not eat green beans when pregnant, and his face: Ugh, what's that? Another? No, no, no, no, no...Oh, come on. Or this young man whose mother also did not eat green beans. We'll let him speak for himself. 
 
Researchers say this helps explain why kids from different countries with more adventurous6 menus enjoy more diverse foods. The lesson: if you want your kids to like veggies, start early, before early, actually.
