Taste buds... Children's taste buds are more sensitive then grown adults. As we age everything ages, or tongue is no exception. Ever notice that strong tasting things are more appealing to older people. Sweets are very mild, as are things like chicken, cheese, pasta, and hot dogs. Some of children's favorite foods. If you want to look closer at this, watch a baby try new foods, bitter, sour, and sweet. There face will tell you alot. And notice that older adults eat, nasty cheese, horseradish, radishes, coffee, tea, and marmalade. All strong flavors to us when we are young but get better as we age.

Why Do Kids Love Candy
2017-01-15 06:31:38 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
The only time the like them so much is if the parents let the kids eat it. I did not buy candy when my kids were babies/toddlers because if it was in the house I would have eaten it and did not need to be eating candy. When we went to the store I would buy 1 candy bar and split it 3 ways between my two kids and I. Hence my kids like candy but are not crazy about it and don't miss the fact that we don't have it in the house etc.

It stimulates the pleasure centers in the brain. Bad thing is, they can form an addiction, screaming and having withdrawal symptoms. They'll also load up on these "empty calories" which causes them to not want to eat what they need for healthy body development. I've seen it where a kid wouldn't eat anything unless it was sweetened with sugar first. His throat would close and he would actually gag trying to swallow unsweetened foods. True story. His teeth suffered greatly.

I think it's because they know that they arn't supposed to have it or eat alot if it! LOL. Or it could be the same reason that adults love candy and sweets!

Because it is high in sugur, which can infuse quickly into the brain giving them a rush (suger rush). They can get a sort of high off of it, but we develop tolerances to it as we age so we no longer get the same results.

Because they are happy by promising to be quiet during shopping, earning the good grades at school and home or doing chores.
