If you are defining 'bad food' as rotted or spoiled food, it will generally exhibit a fermented or acidic odor that will not be typical of the unspoiled item. Unless you are truly hungry or destitute, you would not want to eat it. A rancid odor would also signify the food is beyond its prime.

If you are defining 'bad food' as something that causes foodborne illness, such contaminated food won't necessarily have a bad smell. If it did, there would be fewer cases of foodborne illnesses because the odor would be warning people not to eat it.
