I know one major health change that ruined the taiste of so many foods : removing trans fats. And considering how horrible hydrogenated fats are for health ( basically poison ) it was a necessary move.
It took well over a decade for producers to adjust their reciepes so they didn't taiste so much worse, and many products I find never got "good" again. But that's almost exclusively junkfood cookies and packaged cakes. Fries with proper seasoning can taiste good again.
The funny part about trans fats is that they themselves were pushed as "healthy" alternatives to animal fats.
Meanwhile, what were trans fats replaced by? "Healthy" palm oil, for the most part, another oil that goes through an incredible industrial chemical process that yields an inflammatory food. Womp womp.
I have a mason jar of bacon grease in my fridge. You cannot convince me that it's bad for me to cook with that stuff when the alternatives require an industrial processing factory to create.
There was a literal pandemic of heart attacks killing men in Norway for most of the 20th century. Almost every uncle my dad had dies by 50.
The only two times it fell off was during the war, when particularly marine derived fats for margarine was unavailable, and after they stopped using it.
And it was all because they told people butter and natural fats was bad, and used massive amounts of other types of fats instead.
Fries need to be cooked in lard or whatever they used to be cooked in. The America that popularized fast food joints was still skinny and healthy and normal, it's after things pivoted from real sugar and real fats to franken oils and chemicals that the masses melted.
I'm too lazy to look it up, but there was one stupid motherfucker that successfully(sadly) campaigned to force McDonalds to stop using lard when cooking their fries. The reason? He developed serious heart problems from eating said fries almost daily, and thought lard was the reason.
No, you water-brained retard, it's because you were consuming carbohydrates(read: sugar) every goddamn day.
Making fried potatoes in lard is goddamn delicious. Just... don't eat it every day.

Reject modernity, return to lard.
The "don't eat butter, eat this toxic hydrogenated margarine instead" days.
"Experts" agreed margarine was "better". Better at clogging your arteries shut, maby.

I thought it was because vegetarians and vegans were bitching about not being able to eat the fries.
