I know things don’t taste like they used to and I am losing my sense of smell.
Maybe the fact that I will soon be 75 has something to do with it.

A friend of mine likes to make real deserts. They take hours. They bring tears to my eyes. They taste like I remember. I’m 61 and, probably part of the loss is my own. But the greater part is the food itself.

One of the first things I ever noticed a difference in taste was, believe it or not, the packaged cold cereals. I remember as a child the corn flakes and Rice Krispies were wonderful, but then something happen probably somewhere in the 50's where the government decided we all need minerals in our cereals. Ever since then it's hard to enjoy them cause I can really taste the minerals and remember how they used to be.
