You just gotta know what restaurants to go to for the good stuff. Like, in my experience, the places I've been going to for decades are as good as ever. Including a couple fast food joints (that are more local). Though part of it may be that I don't go to them as often (for both my physical and financial health) as I used to so it tastes more like a treat when I do.

Homecooked meals are still delicious but you gotta be more choosy with your ingredients. Stuff you get at a Farmer's Market will be the best quality. But if you go to the grocery store and get a $4 pound of cheap generic bacon, it can ruin the taste of other ingredients.

Junk snack food, however... this topic 100% has a point and that's because those things have been cheapened at sacrifice of taste so the corporate overlords can achieve maximal profits. Looking into alternative brands is also hit-or-miss. Like I love my peanut butter Ritz Bits and go through one box a week and, in my experience, the ones not made by the National Biscuit Company have less peanut butter and crackers with less flavor. They may be "better for you" or w/e but they don't taste as good.

But what KP is getting at is kinda helpful to me, since I've realized some things I've munched on actually taste awful and have cut those out.
