You don’t have to eat what you don’t like. However, you could (un-)train yourself to like what you didn’t like before.
Over the lifetime our cognition, through conditioning, accumulates or eliminated emotional associations with things. E.g. the common person from our culture that didn’t know they were eating a dog would have a visceral physiological response to the associated disgust their brain launches once they were told that in fact they ate the dog.
And it’s okay, these associations exist and people have initially little control over them.
But people in cultures other than ours don’t have this association conditioned, and for them it’s perfectly fine to eat dog.
This shows that this is just a thing in the head, not physiological. I used to be together with a farmer girl and she saw and raised a cow with her father from it’s beginning until it’s meat ended in her stomach as chewed through juicy steak.
Who’s “right” here? Nobody, it is what it is. Everything is possible.
