Why do many children like to eat potatoes?

I heard that many children around me said that they especially like to eat potatoes ~ strange potatoes are also vegetables, but the children only like this~

The only thing that makes potatoes soft is that they don't have a strong aversion to potatoes. The most important factor is physiological.

First of all, people will say 'what to eat to make up for','What's greedy and what's missing '. This is not without scientific basis. The human body supplements its own insufficient nutrients through the joint action of humoral mediation and neural regulation. Young children need a lot of carbohydrates for energy and amino conversion to produce their own proteins. So children like to eat sugar, and potatoes are very high starch content food, of course, more easily welcomed by children. There are also individual phenomena, such as picky eating, which brings up the second reason.

Children's food is usually directly related to the mother's preferences during pregnancy and lactation. For example, if the mother likes to eat cabbage during lactation, the child may like to eat cabbage. If the mother eats durian, the child may like durian (this hobby is not much on the whole = = |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||. This is the reason why the children of poor families are easy to feed. Potatoes are a common food material in Chinese and foreign families. Few mothers have never eaten potatoes during their lactation. So naturally, there will be few people who don't like potatoes.
