What Determines Our Food Preferences (2019)

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / What Determines Our Food Preferences (2019)
Published: February 10, 2019 by RHJ Producer

Please note: an updated version of this story was recently published – What Determines Our Food Preferences? (2021).


Scientists are discovering that our food preferences are much more than a matter of taste, and that taste itself is more complicated than we thought. Psychology also plays a role. An expert discusses what determines preferences, such as why some people like jalapeno peppers & black coffee, and some don’t.


Guest Information:

  • Dr. Rachel Herz, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Brown University, and author, Why You Eat What You Eat: The Science Behind Our Relationship With Food
