[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be glad it's just fish that doesn't taste good to you anymore. Nothing tastes particularly good to me anymore - fish, fruits, veg, cheese, 95% of meat... I used to enjoy eating and it all just tastes off.[/quote]

why is this? something is wrong. [/quote]

The easiest answer to this is to stop buying mass-produced food and start getting everything in dealers' markets. The downside means no blueberries and tomatoes  in January, higher prices than aldi/Walmart/Costco, and fewer cuts of meat.  And convenience -- you have to plan and can't just type in a peapod order on your phone at 11pm.  You have to drive to a farmers or fish market during its limited hours.

The tradeoff is food that tastes like real food. The person who said up thread that it is not worth roasting a whole chicken anymore needs to find a small Pennsylvania farmer at a farmers market in her zip code.  It'll restore her faith. [/quote]

So you think the easiest answer is only purchasing more expensive and less accessible food? I've heard that bandied about before, and my answer is the same now as it was then: no. There is no reason that supermarket food must always be bottom of the barrel, corporate owned crap. I can get on board with price bearing more of a realistic relationship to actual costs and respecting employees at all levels of production, and I can get on board with more seasonal food, but suggesting we all go to markets is absurd. For one thing, in NOVA where I live they're once a week, if not suspended for the winter. For another, there's no way they could accommodate all the people who currently shop at grocery stores. There [i]is[/i] no easy answer.[/quote]
