Former Vogue magazine food critic Jeffrey Steingarten says that humans are designed to be omnivores with the adaptable ability to eat anything, and that our food aversions are learned delusions:

People who keep a long list of certifiably delicious foods that they avoid are at least as troubled as people who avoid sex, except that the latter will probably seek psychiatric help, while food phobics rationalize their problem in the name of genetic inheritance, allergy, vegetarianism, matters of taste, nutrition, food safety, obesity, or a sensitive nature...
