I can't see all the text, so it's not making any sense to me.

I know that I can't eat cilantro, taste like soap to me. I'd like to know why it taste like that to me but like I said I can't read half the words.

From what I’ve read and been told, it’s genetic. There’s a cluster of genes that people who hate cilantro all have, and those genes happen to also detect the smell/taste of a soap byproduct.

That makes sense. Thank you.

Don't worry. Jun said on a recent Arashi ni Shiyagare that he actually likes cilantro now. He even orders it on purpose ^^
