Yes, all the time. I think part of it is age, and of course food
isn't the same as it was 30 years ago. When I was a kid chickens were
big, plump, fatty, and had lovely yellowish skin. Delicious! Now
chicken is scrawny, puny, putrid, pale, anemic and just plain gross.
Pork is practically inedible these days, they've bred all the fat and
flavor out of the pigs. Then they inject saline solution into it.
Bacon tastes like shit. Eggs don't have any flavor to them. Beef,
meh. Produce leaves much to be desired as well. I prefer to grow my
own stuff but hey sometimes you gotta buy a lemon, and I can't have a
fruit orchard in my little yard, lol.

I guess food just isn't very good anymore, upon second thought.
