is it only me

the meat and vegs are starting to be tasteless

the pork and chicken have no flavor no more 

i eat tomatoes every day  /they have become flavorless with a thick skin 

i now understand why Thai food is overloaded with  chile and garlic trying to get some flavor 

maybe trying to grow everything to quick with antibiotics and hormones?

The reason is not to get some flavour, but rather hide some

Sprinkle a bit more MSG into the frying pan.

How old are you?

Unfortunately as you get older, your senses decline. Just as your eyesight and hearing deteriorate, so too unfortunately does your sense of taste.

So may just be an age thing.

Food is only a fuel you need to keep you body strong and your energy level up. 

After 60 you should spend twice as much time making love than eating .

Get a Covid test.  Please, for those around you if not for you.

Try with Australian tenderloin or Ribeye steak, with salt and pepper with a cup of Spanish wine...If you feel tasteless, your senses are declining.

It is not only you and you don't have to blame yourself - aging and such.

Fruits and vegetables have been designed to 1} look good, 2) last a long time, 3) can be

transported over long distances.

That has been done quite successfully but at the cost of taste, flavor (smell). The outstanding example is strawberries;   They look great, are big, last a long time. But the taste is G O N E........

 

So don't blame yourself and don't let the others put you down; they obviously are ignorant of

the tremendous "progress"  that science has made on the behalf of growers.
