If you want your baby to love broccoli, you better love it, too, because that tiny human is watching you to learn which foods are good and bad. Thats one of the takeaways in a new paper by a UC Santa Barbara researcher who investigated the way infants reason in socially smart ways about food.
A main finding from this research is that babies learning about food is fundamentally social. When they see someone eat a food, they can use the persons reaction to the food to learn about the food itself,
