The older I get, the less I like sweets.

I truly feel old now when I describe something as "too rich" and that is happening more and more every year...

Howdy Tanya! Well at 75 I can tell ya that you are CORRECT! I know now why you do not see many fat older people. Stuff just does not taste like it used to. Not bad exactly, just nothing tastes good, or not like you remember it did. My wife and I eat MUCH less than we used to, just do not enjoy eating. Also, it is EXTREMELY TIRESOME to keep cooking the same stuff. I love some of the recipes I see on F & S, but do not have the will to want to go to all that much trouble to cook something, then go meh! My $0.02 comments.

Same thing here, I figured that out when I began to appreciate dark chocolate more and enjoy milk chocolate less. If there's any candy in the house I won't really it eat because the candy my wife and daughter like is too sweet.

Sense of taste is the first to go as you get older.

Those tastebuds ain't coming back.

I'd wager there's another large (no pun intended) reason why....

I've bought a quarter watermelon twice this month at HEB. I've never liked watermelon. WTF is going on?

I've always crazy loved mushrooms, but now I'm sorta grossed out by them.

I've experienced this with bacon. I used to love bacon but now I don't enjoy it at all. I know, blasphemy…
