What is the real reason why food doesn't taste the same anymore
>>
Companies cheaping out on recipes
>>
>>21919470
don't listen to this performative old bitter coon that acts like getting older is a reason to give up things you loved.
the answer is that companies are year after year searching for cheaper and shittier ingredients to press into slop
>>
>>21919470
The answer IS really simple though. You can just read the ingredients and use your fucking brain and senses.
It’s not a conspiracy to acknowledge companies use fillers, shelf stabilizers, and seek cheaper ingredients.
I bet this jackass is some sort of hustle culture bro, experiencing cognitive dissonance on what a capitalist company will do until the market corrects
>>
>>21919470
Your sense of smell dulls over time and your number of taste buds decrease.

>>
>>21919470
Some stuff changes from enshittification, but thats if youre eating slop

Its called getting older. Especially if you smoke and vape.
>>
>>21919470
as you get older you lose your sense of taste and smell. simple as.

thankfully I have an overly developed sense of taste and smell so mine is lasting longer than most.

and no da ebil copiratons ain't jewing the taste from your food. if anything they are making it taste better than ever.

I don't know what these people are on about, I cook my own food and my shit still tastes great.
>>
>>21919470
Things don't taste as good because you can't compare "oh it's lunchtime, time to eat with coworkers" with "i just spent 5 hours playing with my friends at the park, time to go home for dinner before i pass out"
>>
>>21919533
Fuck off, conspiratard.

Avocado oil. Everything changed when we moved to avocado oil.

Nothing has tasted the same since I had COVID

>>21919470
Corporatism leads to a constant focus on cutting costs which leads to switching to ever cheaper ingredients and methods. The twitter negro in OP pic is also right, though. But the major reason things keep getting sucker is the never ending corporatization of every industry and aspect of human society.

you're not drinking enough water.
water is the secret to making food taste better.

You mean the common flu?

Imagine tricking 80 percent of the population into a gene therapy experiment by getting them super scared of the common flu.

Remember when Breyers entire advertisement was a little kid reading ice cream ingredients and Breyers was super simple. Milk, Cream, sugar, Vanilla.
Yeah well now they all include thickener goo. Most except for like 5 include a paragraph of chemicals, and most only qualify to call themselves frozen dairy desert without enough cream to be ice cream. And that is the case for 95% of ice creams sold.
A trend similar in most processed food.

Yeah the food is very different.
You have to buy organic today to get what was standard produce in the 1980s-90s.
The main variety of wheat now is a different more allergenic one.
The food and animal feed staples of corn and soybeans are grown drenched in glyphosate, vietnam's agent orange.

Even the junk food is nowhere near as good.
Cocao butter is no longer standard in half the chocolate. Most candies have a fraction of the artificial flavoring added they used to. Most sugar cereals are produced with 20% of the steps they used to use to turn them into fancy confectionary. You know every fruit loop color used to taste like the individual fruits made seperately, and not be a generic berry blend?
Corn pops was like super crispy carmelized airy candy in a foil package that was so hydroscopic it went stale within 2-3 days of opening. Now its bland.
All the cereals kids ate had a lot more love.

Corners cut everywhere for profit. The goysumer won't know..it saves 10c per item and the Board of Director's approves them all for products they don't even eat themselves as shareholders rejoice.
>>
>>21920784
>that was so hydroscopic it went stale
???
Are you thinking of hygroscopic? That wouldn't make things stale, that would make things more moist.
Are you rarted?
>>
I remember when Chips Ahoy Chewie was made with real butter and was delicious. Now its a super shelf stable palm oil based thing that tastes like wax and hurts your stomach.


And these are how bad things are with honest companies telling you in the ingredients.
But now we are importing jeets that will outright scam and lie so even the ingredient list won't be trustworthy forever.
>>
>>21920793

Yes hygroscopic, and no a sugar based crispy product with crunch turns tacky and stale when it attracts moisture. The more surface area the faster, and they were so light and airy even folding down the wrapper didn't prevent it for more than a couple days. Honey smacks and golden crisp were similar. They were like glazed baked grain that was made whipping around in a hot cyclone. Not just coated and tumble cooked in the simpler cheaper method used today.
>>
>>21919533
Nah he probably just switches back and forth between bitching about capitalism and defending capitalist systems. That’s a bizarrely common thought process these days.
>just read the ingredients
This is really the only argument that needs to be made. There’s all kinds of ridiculous shit in there and palm oils and other bullshit fillers move up the list (because higher concentration) year over year.
>>
Retarded chuds refuse to learn how to cook and are upset their pizza bites don't taste as good as a home-cooked meal, but instead of taking some personal accountability they say it must be the Jews.

Convenient food used to be good, why wouldn’t people still want that? Only retards just blame the jews, that doesn’t make the obvious problem disappear

>>21920817
Exactly
It’s cucked to allow the enshittification.
You don’t have to radically upend the economic system to stop it either, I’m not a stupid commie.
>>
slop became sloppier
>>
>>21920784
Don’t call it chemicals, the pendants will start boring everyone with the chemical names of everything.
I don’t understand why people think a bunch of new ingredients, regardless of how you think they affect your health, WOULDN’T affect the taste and texture.

>>21920837
> somehow
>>
>>21920841
It’s obviously the Jews though

Can you guys come up with a better explanation than that?
>>
>omg can you conspiratards just shut up about the Jews!

He says on 9 of Trump's second war for Israeli interests
>>
As food production is globalized, fruits and vegetables are picked long before they are ripe so they don't spoil while shipping.
>>
>>21920877
The explanation is that plenty of non-jews contribute, support, and exacerbate the problems. The non-jews shouldn’t get off scott free under some asinine true fault doctrine. You can say Trump is actually a jew or whatever you want but that doesn’t address any of the problems, it’s just stupid semantics at this point.
By just blaming the jews you don’t get taken seriously and nothing changes too.
Scream it from the rooftops that the origin is jews, i don’t actually care, but why are so many non jews participating and defending? Is it because they’re all brainwashed simps or is it because they’re just as greedy and self serving?
>>
>>21920841
Frozen foods are way better than they were 20 years ago. Kids Cuisine and Lunchables weren't actually good, you were just a child with the taste of a child.
>>
>>21920886
This is a true bummer. I wish we’d invest in greenhouse regional food production for some of the more desired fruits instead of JUST bigger/faster/higher yield
>>
>>21920901
Good thing i didn’t mention either of those then, huh?

The problem lies in doing something against the system and then NOT getting scared by the media scare tactics that follow. Fucking of course they want to spook you into continuing the status quo

I’m so sick of the stock market mongering.
CuntNewsNetwork and Faux News both have articles about the stocks “plummeting” by 5% because trump said blackrock shouldn’t be buying up homes.
It’s awesome here

Yes, it's a good thing you intentionally avoid making any specific claims because then someone might show you're wrong. Much better to have a vibes-based world model.

You're depressed. Cheer up, faggot.

I have nothing to say on those two products because i didn’t even eat them as a child anyway, retard.
There’s no sense in arguing about every type of enshittified product, especially with someone who thinks current frozen food is good.

What is the real reason people don’t taste the same anymore?

shitty food in, shitty meat out
People definitely used to taste better back in the day

Cod is in season January-March
Lamb is in season second half of March-second half of April
Strawberries are in June
Apples (for cooking) are best September-October
Artichokes: January-March
Nettles: February-March
Tomatoes are June-August
Scallops and mussels are best in November and December
For cheese it's May in temperate regions, July in the mountains.

None of you know any of this. You pay premium prices for garbage. If you stop buying tomatoes in March and shrimp in June, the problem solves itself.
>>

Honestly buddy
I don’t disagree with you, but i think you’re talking about something else. Most people are complaining about pre-packaged/processed foods lol

You got me. I guess you should get double vaxxed this year just to prove me wrong
>>
>>21921849
so you just believe things without any kind of proofs and just go with whatever feels good to you like a woman?

Buy some expensive organic (or whatever) fruits and vegetables, eat them, and you may find the answer.
