Hahaha, Your in rare form this evening aren’t you. So if I have 10-20 based on my age, how many might you have? Far be it from me to make a diagnosis however even if you have all your taste buds intact I think you may have a problem with your insula’s. You have two in your brain that do many things. One of which is to tell us if we are eating good or rotten food. Considering what you eat I think we both know you may have a problem there.

The insula is a fascinating part of the brain. They are doing studies in the brains of addicts, including food addiction and it’s connection to obesity. Brian injury or brain stroke seems to be the culprit in insula damage although drugs and alcohol play a part too.
I don’t know if they can modify behavior if insula damage is found. But, yes one of the many disorders is not being able to tell fresh from rotten food. So I guess the sense of smell is affected too. I remember seeing many homeless eating out of trash cans in Vegas. Assuming many were mentally ill.
When you think of the sizzling heat in Vegas and how fast food rots and yet some happily ate garbage.
The brain and all we don’t know about it.
