There are many possible reasons. You may have eaten something bitter before and the aftertaste is still in your mouth. You may not be aware of it but whenever you swallow your saliva would re-pick up that chemical/food item that was bitter and the food you're eating would also taste bitter.
It may be you've somehow super-charged the bitter-tastebuds on your tongue and they are more sensitive. Though I have no idea how you could do that under normal circumstances.
It may also be psychological, you may not feel like eating so it tastes bitter. Some depressed people have said that whenever they ate food it "tasted like ash" or other negative attribute. When they got over their depression, they found food tasted good again.
