It gets passed on from one generation to another like in Jainism they are not allowed to eat onion and garlic so, these people don't eat these two vegetables in their whole life . Cultural impact is there ,some people after they become independent and live far from their families try out some unique things or they have to eat other than they eat generally because no other option is left .
