Solution
Taste aversion is a condition which is generally developed after ingestion of food that causes
nausea, vomiting, and sickness.
This condition serves as a mechanism to avoid poisonous substances before they can cause harm
to our body.
This condition is most commonly seen in human beings.
When a person eats bad food, he develops nausea and becomes aversive to that food.
The same thing happened in the above case. Dimitri has developed a food aversion for donuts.
The next time they stop for donuts, Dimitri immediately feels ill.
