Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Humans are born with mechanisms that help them decide when and how much to eat, such as hunger and satiety cues. While humans do have innate preferences for certain tastes, such as a dislike of bitter tastes, they are not born with the ability to instinctively choose foods that provide all essential nutrients. Similarly, humans may have a natural preference for high-calorie foods, but this preference does not necessarily translate to an innate ability to select a well-balanced diet.
