Having a kid who always ate broccoli since solid foods were introduced, I think it comes down to more of what options the kids have available, and what their taste buds expect.
A lot of “kid food” marketed to parents is sugar filled, processed shelf stable stuff. If you give your kid “fruit snacks” and Teddy Grams as part if their daily food, of course they’re going to think broccoli or other veg is disgusting.
So even if they have “double the taste buds” (something that I’ve never seen or heard a doctor tell me in all these years), but even if that’s true, if the palate is used to sugar/ultra-palatable foods, yeah, broccoli will taste like shit.
Kids have double the taste buds, they taste everything more. #TheMoreYouKnow
