The principle of sensory adaptation is that if you are given a stimulus long enough, it will eventually become less and less effective. For example, if you eat enough of an apple, towards the end it doesn't taste AS good as it did, and you have less of a yearning for it. The same can be applied to touch, smell, etc etc.

My question is, do you think you could learn to like a food through sensory adaptation? Eventually, you wouldn't taste the food so much and would have more of a chance to start liking it.

Eat broccoli for a month straight, you might get hooked on it

I hate brocoli -yuck

I have never liked and i don't think i ever will my hubby got me to eat it but i spat it out yuck

i don't know if i'd be willing to try ... my favorite foods taste wonderful no matter how many times i eat them, and no matter how often i eat them each day ...

i know that with eating, it's suggested you eat a bit of one thing, and then switch to another so that your meal continues to taste the same ... unless you sat and ate the broccoli alltogether and you had a ton of it, i doubt you would see much progress ...

and the next time you'd feel up to it, i'd imagine you'd start back at square one ...

I've heard that you should eat a bit of one thing and switch like you suggested, but never really done so. I think it is about the same to just eat whatever you feel like during a meal as much as you want. Either way, you're going to get full off of something.
