This may sound odd at first, but I am a supertaster. 25% of people of european descent have this condition, it makes you much more sensitive to taste of foods. For me personally, it makes most healthy foods (fruits/vegetables) taste like utter crap. :)
I would personally love to be able to, either temporarily or permanently, through either a drug or even surgery, just disable my sense of taste completely. Perhaps smell would have to go too... This would cause me to not overeat good tasting food that is bad for you, and would allow me to eat healthily without hating it. Let's face it, everyone would eat differently if food did not have taste. You would simply eat as a fuel source, putting in what would give your body the most health and energy.
Others may find this idea drastic, but to me it is extremely appealing. Any ideas or insights?
