Well your taste buds (over 10,000 on average) don't go numb. You may loose a couple due to the piercing but the taste buds themselves regenerate. Case in point: Eat a bag of Salt & Vinegar potato chips then look at your tongue, you will see great flat spots over areas of the tongue, "missing taste buds". Discharge and other healing processes can play games during the initial healing period, this is not limited to messing with your sense of taste.

Why can't I taste foods 2 and a half days after i got my tongue pierced?

The reason you can't taste anything is because your tongue is most likely infected. You should seek professional medical treatment for this. Tongue piercings can be very serious and if they get infected they can rot and decay until nothings left. The symptoms are as follows: Food has little or no taste, tongue is swollen/abnormally large, tongue goes numb at random or is numb for extended periods of time, and hemorrhaging of the taste buds.
