Changes in taste

It's strange when eating food how we seem to notice the food we ate as a child doesn't seem like the same food in later years, so its apparent that as we age our taste buds reflect the change too, at some time or other, some one says this dosen't taste the same as when I was young

Seems true to me. I have acquired the taste for Marmite, Brussels sprouts & strong coffee and lost the taste for sherbert flying saucers, sugar sandwiches & orange fizzy pop 🙂

Our tastes do change as we get older but our food has been messed about with so much these days not for us to enjoy but to bring in the most profit and to make it keep for longer.
Buying day to day was by far the healthiest no preservatives ect
Did anyone see the programme that went to a research lab they were trialing feeding dried maggots to animals what the hell next I really felt sick. When I was a child my uncle kept pigs and they were fed on swill ,he would boil up all the tiny potatoes from his allotment ect ,he was very particular that the food was ok.
All the neighbours saved their potato peelings for him. The pork was delicious now I find it tasteless.
A friend gave me a cucumber she had grown in the summer what bliss unlike those awful supermarket things that are grown purely in water & fertiliser. Oh dear I must get off my soap box but I feel strongly about the rubbish that is added to our food we keep being told to cut back on our salt intake the manufacturers should be made cut back on all the other dangerous rubbish that's added as well.

Just reading a book called Fat Planet by David Lewis which reinforces much of what you say. Doesn't stop me eating rubbish though. It is just too convenient and tasty to resist, which is what the food industry relies on. Next book to read is Tescopoly, by Andrew Simms!

Meat does not taste the same now because of intensive farming.
