Do You Absolutely Hate Broccoli?
“On average, about 70% of us can taste something bitter in broccoli or PTC, but those with two copies of the bitter sensitivity gene are closer to 20%, and they are much more likely to hate it.”
U.S. President George H.W. Bush said in March 1990, “I do not like broccoli. And I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m President of the United States and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli!” He banned it on Air Force One."

ReplyDeleteI like broccoli but it doesn't like me.
Take care, enjoy your day and have a happy new week!
Overall I like broccoli but sometimes it can be a little bitter, especially raw in a salad.
