Our sense of taste decreases by about 30% when we are at high altitudes. This largely is due to our bodies trying to adjust to the high altitudes. One thing that happens to the body is that the nasal passages dry out. This takes away much of our ability to smell and taste. So the next time you complain about the food on the airplane, remember that it might actually be your fault!
