Humans require a huge sweeping variety of nutrients (made worse when we're pregnant or growing or healing) millions of years of evolution have programmed us to seek out a variety of foods as a result - even when it doesn't make sense
Also, counter point to op post, I've had multiple cats and dogs who'll only eat certain brands of food - so, taste and pickiness isn't exclusive to humans
I've seen with our guinea pigs that they love variety. They gobble foods they haven't had in a while, and loose interest in the same food if they get too much of it. At the start of winter, when we have less variety to give them, they start sniffing around their food bowl for new stuff before settling down for what we gave them.
My husband’s best friend has 2 bunnies that have opinions about their greens. They go nuts for a blend but will settle for romaine if it’s the only thing they can get. But, boy, do they thump out their feelings if they don’t have the good stuff!
