Taste

 

Hello,

I'm currently doing some reasearch for English 150 here at Grand Valley State University.  I'm working on the topic of taste and how we as humans differentiate between a good taste and a bad taste.  I’m wondering if you have any psychological or phsysiological ideas on this question.  Are the tastes we like and dislike based on genetics?  Are they based on past experiences in our lives?  Do foods even taste the same to me as they do to you?  These are just a few of the questions that I’m searching for answers for, and I’m hoping that I can get your ideas and opinions on.  Also if you know of any resourses that could help me out, that would also be greatly apprieciated. 

 

            Thanks,

            Josh
