The answer is probably “yes”

1. Food is probably worse.
2. Your taste buds might have changed.
3. Your gut bacteria might be different.

I have a couple reasons for believing each.

1. Nutrient concentration in food has decreased over time (Veritasium talked about a fascinating explanation for this) and the desire to find low cost alternatives like HFCS over cane sugar changes the taste of food.
2. “Children prefer higher levels of sweet and are more sensitive to bitter tastes until adolescence.”
3. Your gut microbiome literally changes over time.
