For not everything is good for every one, and not every person enjoys everything: People are different as to what kind of food agrees with them and as to what kind of food they like. In English idiom, food that agrees with a person is food that does not make that person sick. A possible alternative model is:
• Some food will make you feel sick. No one likes every kind of food.
