Our lifelong food preferences are largely shaped by the foods we're exposed to earlyon in childhood.
我們一生的食物偏好大多數取決于在童年時期接觸到的食物。
This process begins before we even taste solid foods.
在我們接觸固體食物以前，這個過程已經開始了。
If introduced early enough, we'll happily accept flavors that our own parents might turn their noses up at.
如果及早接觸的話，我們可能會接受父母嗤之以鼻的口味。
For instance, there is an infant formula designed to aid digestion, which has abitter after taste that parents find unappealing.
比如，有一個幫助消化的嬰兒配方食物，回味起來苦澀無比，家長們都不喜歡。
They assume that theirbabies couldn't possibly like it.
他們猜測自己的孩子可能也不喜歡。
If they wait until their babies are seven months old to introduce the formula, their assumption will probably be right.
如果直到孩子7個月大的時候，才給他們喂養這種食物的話，家長們的猜測也許是對的。
However, if they introduce the formula to the child within its first four months of life,the baby will accept the formula and continue to accept it.
但是，如果在孩子四個月大的時候，喂養這種食物的話，孩子就會接受并繼續食用它。
So if a mother breastfeeds that mean that by eating vegetables, her baby will be exposed tothe flavors of vegetables through her breast milk.
因此，如果一個母親在吃蔬菜的同時用母乳喂養孩子，她的孩子就會通過乳汁接觸到蔬菜的味道。
If a mother eats a varied diet, then her breast milk can naturally introduce a widevariety of flavors to her baby early on.
假如一位母親有多樣化的飲食，她的母乳在嬰兒早期就能介紹各種不同的口味給孩子。
And the wider variety of flavors children areexposed to, the more likely they are to eat a varied diet later on in life.
孩子接觸到的口味越廣，他們食用多樣化食物的可能性就越大。
