Everyone knows children don't like eating greens. A new study explains why. The study looked at what young children ate. The study found that genes made children dislike greens. The children also disliked other things. This means parents do not have to stress if their children do not eat vegetables.

DNA changes how children taste food. They think many vegetables are bitter. A researcher into obesity said children have a sensitive taste. The new research could help to fight obesity in children. The researcher said we needed to know more about how children change from drinking milk to eating the food the family eats.
