Studies have shown that children don't like vegetables because of human instincts

A recent
U.
S
study suggests that children's
vegetables may be due to survival instincts, the Daily Mail of London reported Thursday.study on children's response to plants was conducted with researchers at Yale University in the United States.researchers experimented at Yale University's Infant Cognition Center, placing two real plants, two realistic artificial plants, and two other objects, and then observed the reactions of
47,

8
to
18
-month-olds.researchers exposed children to different objects and found that children were less likely to pick natural objects, such as plants, than plastic or metal objects, and that children who participated in the experiment were reluctant to touch plants.researchers believe that humans have been using this pattern of behavior since birth to avoid being harmed or poisoned by flowers or plants.studies have shown that this behavioral strategy protects children, reduces their risk of accidentally eating or touching poisonous plants, or is injured by physical defense mechanisms such as plant hair, thorns, or toxic oils to avoid exposure to plant-like hazards.and survival mechanisms warn humans not to pick dangerous plants, which may be why children refuse to eat leafy green vegetables, according to the study.
