Why do so many healthy foods taste so bad?

One reason some healthy foods taste bad is that many healthy foods are bitter like bok choy, and raw garlic, which is healthiest when eaten raw. Raw onions are also healthy but don't taste that great if you get the maximum spiced version. Another reason healthy foods taste bad is that they tend to have extreme flavours, and uncommon flavours. Like sweet cherries have a common sweet flavour, while weird ginger has an uncommon ginger flavour. Their useful nutrients and nutrient diversity often means they have uncommon flavours and unpredictable ratios of each taste flavour taste profile, and they have more complex tastes as well. But a study of young children showed, that human beings are wired to prefer healthy food to junk food and if you give them enough time to prepare their meals out of endless possible options, they will eventually replace all their candy and soda pop with healthy foods like salmon and shrimp etc...

Because the harder things are mostly the right things

I can't say I have noticed this. Are the people suffering from withdrawal symptoms, maybe?

For one, modern food is oversweet, oversalted.

I season whatever I don't like or I'll add hot sauce

Your accustomed to the stimulated unhealthy foods with sauce, oil and salt. I love healthy foods and crave them the more I eat them because my microbiome craves them more.

because you're not cooking them properly and to your own taste...

You must be eating the wrong foods.

Those health foods don't taste good cause all the stuff we like isn't added.

[Pohjolan]

You guys just have gotten used to unnatural amounts of sugar and fats in foods.

Probably for the same reason so many junk foods taste bad

They taste good if you know how to make them.
