Can Your Food Taste Be Predicted By Your DNA? | Food Unwrapped

Journalist Kate Quilton investigates the claim that your taste in food can be predicted by your DNA, and puts it to the test with Marmite lovers and haters.

FOOD UNWRAPPED explores how our food is really made and the industry secrets behind our favourite produce. Reporters Matt Tebbutt, Jimmy Doherty and Kate Quilton travel the globe to discover just how the food we love is mass-produced. The series contacts supermarkets and manufacturers with simple questions about the food we buy, then visits the factories to investigate! Taking the cameras behind the doors of factories worldwide, the inquisitive food lovers meet food technicians, scientists, factory owners, growers, and producers in order to reveal weird and wonderful facts we never knew about our food.

Whether you hate or love marmite, let's not ignore the fact that Kate was dressed just like a minion in the last scene

I dont need a DNA test to tell me how much i hate marmite

I have wondered this myself, but my current thoughts are that it's far more to do with the foods you are brought up with from a very young age.

Surprise the results are somewhat random and they are just collecting your DNA

I'm trying so hard to like it. I like almost any food, but this keeps me frustrated 😅
It's extremely salty and a bitter at the same time. Nice in stews tho!

Maybe she just hasn’t discovered she likes it yet, like Kate said she didn’t always like it and it grew on her

No, it is not. I vomited when someone spoke to me after eating a sandwich with it in about 7 years agon, however, I was taken very ill 3 years ago and have eaten it ever since. The geneticists have wasted their time and marmite have wasted their money.
