Answer:

Food aversion is when certain foods make pregnant women uncomfortable. These foods either makes them nauseous, or they hate the taste or they have problems swallowing them. Therefore, they tend to avoid these foods as much as possible.Common food aversions include milk, meat, eggs and certain vegetables.

Another, perhaps inspired by the nursery rhyme, is that a predilection for sweet things during pregnancy makes you more likely to be having a girl, while a boy will make you crave savoury, salty foods, meat and cheese in particular.

Step-by-step explanation:

what is conditioned taste aversion

= involves the avoidance of a certain food following a period of illness after consuming that food. These aversions are a great example of how classical conditioning can result in changes in behavior, even after only one incidence of feeling ill.
