Losing interest in overly sweet, salty, and artificially flavored food/drinks

This is weird. I used to live off of Doritos, Hawaiian punch, easy-Mac, pop tarts, etc. I’ve been gradually losing interest over such items for the last few years, but since this summer the thought of eating or drinking some of this makes me want to ralph.

Am I hanging around too many foodies or whatever, or is this just a normal part of growing up?

I vote “normal growing up.”

In the past 10 years, I’ve gone from not eating fast food because it’s bad for me but tastes good to not eating fast food because it tastes disgusting. Same thing with convenience foods like Hamburger Helper. I’d just rather go hungry or eat scrambled eggs or something than eat that kind of stuff anymore.

My tastes have also changed in other ways - Beer, for example. A lot of the styles I liked 10 or 15 years ago I can’t stand anymore. I used to be a Hophead; now I avoid anything overly hoppy.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. Now I know my ABC’s; next time won’t you sing with me.

If you have a problem with the OP, take it to the Pit.

Huh? I was just adding my 2cents. I have no problem with the OP. Definitely no need to take anything to the Pit.

[Diamonds02 plotting] What can I possibly post to convince everyone that I’m NOT a 15 y/o boy? [/Diamonds02 plotting]

I’m finding my tastes are changing too, loving a lot of sour and acidic stuff I didn’t when younger.

Maybe your taste buds are off doing a side hustle.
