Good point. I happen to believe that babies in particular are designed
to avoid foods that are potentially dangerous to them. That may be why
so many kids hate to eat veggies, since by far the majority of plants
are either poisonous or simply inedible. Most babies won't eat enough
liver baby food to get copper poisoning, I don't think, definitely an
adult taste.
