Part of the reason something tastes good to us is that we can also smell it as we eat. Humans have specialized sensory cells in the nasal cavity called olfactory sensory neurons. These neurons give us our sense of smell. If you're stopped up due to a cold, it impedes those senses and you aren't able to smell as well. A cold also doesn't allow as good of air intake through the nasal passages which normally allows different chemicals (scents) to pass over these neurons and be sensed (smelled). Since taste and smell are correlated, that component of your enjoyment of food will be diminished, at least temporarily.
Your taste buds don't specifically change when you become sick. The flavors of food seem to change when you are sick due to your sinuses. Since sense of smell and taste are so closely related, when your sinuses become inflamed, it affects your sense of smell...thus affecting your sense of taste.
When you have a cold, your nose is stuffed up. Believe it or not, we need our nose to taste things so if you have mucus in your nose or whatever, you can't smell properly therefore getting no taste at all or a different taste when eating food.
when you loose your sense of smell, you also loose your sense of taste. for example: when you catch up colds, your nose is clogged and so your smelling is altered.
because ur body doenst feel as great as it feels when its not sick so ur body doesnt feel like absorbing or digesting ur food

Some people loose their sense of taste when they get a cold or flu (I know I do). Other people do not loose their sense of taste. It all depends on the person.
Another name for being sick is being under the weather.
The original research on taste aversion was conducted by Garcia. It is primarily (in humans) used to explain why patients receiving chemotherapy become averse to eating the foods they eat shortly after receiving a treatment. The belief is that because the radiation makes the patient sick they associate the feeling with the food rather than the hospital (presumably) where they receive treatment. The theory goes that the brain can more easily associate taste and sickness than location and sickness. Evolutionarily, this makes sense because you are more likely to get sick from bad food than being in a certain place. This association can be made for some time after the irradiation takes place, up to around 24 hours if memory serves. A common treatment is to give the patient a bitter tasting liquid after the chemo session. The patient then associates this bitter taste with the treatment rather than the meal he or she eats afterwards.
