Personal preferences are culturally-informed.

I like oatmeal, and have it every morning--not because oatmeal is inherently better than other breakfast foods, but because I grew up in a family that ate oatmeal every morning, just as my father grew up in a family that ate oatmeal every morning. Had I grown up in a family that ate Lucky Charms for breakfast instead, I would probably prefer that.
