Question: Why are people's taste buds different? And why do people like different foods?

It’s just due to the differences between people, some people have different numbers of the different taste buds so they will taste things differently. In general, women have more taste buds than men. Also, your taste buds change as you get older which is why you might nowadays like some foods that you didnt used
to!
