Girls Have Superior Sense Of Taste To Boys

Who knows?

"New knowledge: Girls have a better sense of taste than boys. Every third child of school age prefers soft drinks which are not sweet. Children and young people love fish and do not think of themselves as being fussy eaters. Boys have a sweeter tooth than girls. And teenagers taste differently. The findings of the world's largest study so far on the ability of children and young people to taste and what they like have now been published. The study was conducted jointly by Danish Science Communication, food scientists from The Faculty of Life Sciences (LIFE) at University of Copenhagen and 8,900 Danish schoolchildren."

Whether this is knowledge or bulls**t remains to be seen.

But the suggestions from the study will fail.

As an example:

"'For example, it is quite clear that children do not necessarily prefer sweet things. According to the findings, healthy snacks could easily be developed for boys with slightly extreme and sour flavours.'"

The "healthiness" of a food in the domain of overweight/obesity relates only to how many Calories-worth of it is eaten.

It is and always will be about Calories in vs. Calories out.

To think otherwise, as these researchers suggest, it to think in the way of failure.

But that is the (sad) state of affairs.
