A report came out last week that said men prefer meat and women prefer fruits and vegetables I’m sure that comes as no surprise to anyone who has ever dined with the opposite sex. The survey, consisting of almost 15,000 American adults, also showed men were more likely to eat things like frozen pizza and peas and women were more likely to eat eggs and some nuts.
So what’s the reason for this diet disconnect between the sexes? Do we learn this at the dinner table from our parents? Is it some sort of cultural influence or is there a genetic cause? Researchers couldn’t explain the reasoning.
Personally, I think it’s probably a combination of all factors. But I can just hear what my boyfriend will say next time I cook broccoli….that he’s genetically programmed to dislike it!
