Detailed explanation-1: -Food aversion is a strong dislike for a particular food. The sight, smell or taste of the food causes you to feel nauseous or makes you gag. Both children and adults experience food aversion. Hormonal changes cause food aversion in pregnant people.
Detailed explanation-2: -How does taste aversion work? An example of a conditioned taste aversion is getting the flu after eating a specific food, and then, long past the incident, avoiding the food that you ate prior to getting sick. This can happen even though the food didn’t cause the illness since it isn’t spread this way.
Detailed explanation-3: -Avoiding a particular food item after food poisoning is an excellent example of conditioned taste aversion. People and other organisms avoid the foods that have resulted in their poisoning. From an evolutionary perspective, it makes sense that we would avoid food that has made us sick.
