Why do people like chocolate so much? Why don't I?

Most people like chocolate because it is high in fat and calories and humans are programed to seek out high fat and calorie foods because of survival instincts but It's normal not to like certain foods

you should be proud to be different and unique! :)

Yup i dont like chocolate either unless its the only sweet thing there is. Although i do like Reese,s Swiis Cake Rolls and Nutty Bars. But other than that im a sugar candy kind of guy. I love sweet tarts and everything thats sour with a kick an not a knock off. I dont like chocolate cake, ice cream or shakes. Vanillia all aroud. I dont even lke strawberrys unless its in a candy form. But thats still pushing it. Peope have different taste buds for example: I can eat generic foods drink generic sodas and smoke generic cigs but my girlfriend on the other hand has to have namebrand or nothing at all.....

I've always wondered this also, especially why women crave it on ther periods, not making fun it's just that it has zero nutritional value, when I get hungry (guy) I crave something that has sustenance like meat or carbs, real food that keeps you going, the idea of craving something so refined and and nearly artificial baffles me, chocolate is a very specialized product that takes a lot of effort to produce, so, what did people crave before it was ever made? Not much help sorry.

Don't feel left out, you are not alone. I am a woman and do not like chocolate, I may eat some once a year and it better be good quality.

If you do like high quality brands, it may just be that you hate poor quality (often American like Hershey) chocolate. That just means you have functioning taste buds. If you don't like it at all, you may be missing the chocolate gene.

It is nothing more than a preference thing. Some people love it, others don't. It is the same with any food item. I personally find green peas repulsive but you may love them. Thats just the way things are.

It can be addictive when it comes to need to eat piece after piece in one sitting.

Chocolate isn't high on my list of things to eat and I rarely buy any, even if I see it is cheap

You are very lucky that you dont like chocolates. There are many others like you. My BFF hates chocolates.

people like chocolate because it is a symbol of love & some people don't like chocolate because they think chocolate is lead to fat.

You have a refined palette.
