I still remember when cereal companies, fed up with complaints, removed the laboratory dyes from their food. Then social media and the press went all-in on talking about how shitty the cereals looked and tasted.
I cannot be convinced it was not a deliberate move of malicious compliance to buy a few more decades of chemistry-set food: deliberately ruin your own product and pretend it's because you removed the artificial stuff.
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.
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.

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