    That’s not it at all. Look, I know it’s easy to place the blame on those cheese eating surrender monkeys, but this one is on human nature.

    Multiple scientific studies done by the big food corps have shown, consistently, that the majority of people in the world prefer blander food.

    You may not personally, but multiple double blind studies have shown that the average Joe prefers blandness, and bland unspiced food tends to sell better than the opposite.

      I think there’s some context missing here, otherwise cooked unsalted chicken would be a common treat (it’s not). Do you mean it more like “1 or 2 spices is better than 5?”

        Know how McD’s they have both a real egg vs the flat yellow thin precooked one? In a blind taste test most people prefer the flat one because it’s less ‘eggy’. I mean strong spices, most people prefer blandness, at least in the US.

      Can you link those studies? My 5 minute “research” was pointing the other direction. There are people who like bland more, but not the majority or something.
