Kids have much more sensitive palates than adults. They are hard wired to avoid bitterness and seek sweetness. That's because most poisonous plants are bitter, an adult can eat some without ill effect but that isn't true for kids. It's also why kids will eat raw carrots but not cooked, because the sweetness is more developed. When I was a kid, my parents were in the 'you will sit there until you eat it' camp on things I detested, cooked carrots being one and cooked peas being another (not so much the taste, but the texture disgusted me). Pretty much backfired, as I would eventually eat whatever it was.... and throw it back up about 30 seconds later. Then, of course, I got in trouble for 'making' myself throw up. To this day, I can't eat certain vegetables at all, and others I can only eat raw.
