Actually, taste is selected against: strong tastes put some people off, so they weaken the taste, so people are even less used to them and they weaken them some more.

Once we're all eating polystyrene and cotton wool with a side of vitamin tablets they'll be happy.

It used to be the popular wisdom around here, when shopping for fruit in the local market, that one would prefer those who shown signs of being picked by birds... a sign for taste and sweetness.

Now get that into a supermarket or regulation...
