Last weekend I was out for a walk with one of my friends, and she really wanted ice cream. So we stopped at the convenience store and I bought a packaged ice cream cone. After the first bite all I could taste was the sugar, and started getting a headache.

Tonight I was tired and didn't want to make an entire meal, so I heated up canned soup and added a few vegetables, chicken, and spices to it. Even so, it wasn't that great and the amount of salt in it (none added by me) was way too much and almost made it inedible.

So basically, I'm finding very sugary or salty foods gross. Also bread I haven't baked myself. For the past few weeks, I've only been making my own bread. I bought a loaf from the bakery the other day and it was extremely unsatisfying.

It is so interesting to read about ground beef and pink slime yuk. My mom, 1921-2006, always did this when she wanted ground beef: picked out a cut of beef and asked them to grind it, right there in front of her. She never trusted what was in it unless she did that.

Fried foods and chinese food! Yuck! Both make me feel awful now. I use to love Chinese food especially, but I can't stand it now. Too much sodium and other junk. I do wish I was disgusted by Mexican food, but I actually love it more because I've learned to make it at home with healthier ingredients with half the calories.

Cannot even start to drink sodas with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Fountain Dr. Pepper was my old summer-time favorite: I could consume a day's worth of calories that way! Still loved Dublin Dr. Pepper as a rare treat -- made with Imperial Sugar from original recipe rather than corn syrup -- until the take-over company pulled it from the market.
Cannot eat anything with HFCS, like Little Debbie honey buns or swiss rolls.
WIll not even consider eating fast food garbage -- anything -- from McDonald's/ Taco-Bell/ etc.
Just too gross to even consider now. Strange, isn't it, how our poor taste buds have adapted to healthier tastes?? - Maryjean

Chopped meat! I mean chopped beef, in particular. Since the news began airing all the brewhaha about "pink slime", I've become totally grossed out at even the thought of eating any chopped meat, which is really good because I used to love love love hamburgers.

I agree with DANAL about milk that is not skimmed, I really don't like the taste. Taste buds adapt after a period of eating no added salt and no added sugar. I don't like butter on anything not even in a sandwich or toast.

I have drank 1% milk for so long now that even 2% milk tastes too fatty and if I drink or eat anything with whole milk in it I can tell immediately!

After giving up sweets for lent and trying my best to eat "clean," I realized a lot of the foods I thought I loved and hadn't had for a long time do not satisfy my as I did before. When I inindulge, it BETTER be worth it! I'm very picky with sweets, and candy no longer satisfies me, except chocolate ofcourse. Onion rings, fries, etc. are just appaling now. Many chip brands just dont taste as good anymore. I can also tell whenever something has artifical sweeteners or has high fructose corn syrup. I like my food to have substance and flavor, not bland salty and processed.

Processed food. Artificial sweeteners. Crappy food. I'll always love sweets and chocolate, but now when I indulge, rarely, I get the BEST I can get. :)

I love the way I look at food now, to fuel my body more than to just EAT.

Soda, Spaghettios, and any "fruit" flavored candy like Skittles or gummi bears.

I'm even wearing off of Hershey's chocolate and hot chocolate because I feel so gross after eating it. Now I've moved on to organic and higher quality chocolate. (Oh, no, I didn't GIVE UP chocolate completely!!) :)

Just about anything my mom makes. It's a lot of high fat, fried, processed junk. Even when she tried to make fish for me (bless her heart), she put so much salt and other seasonings on it that she ruined it for me.

I used to love McDonalds! Now, if I want a cheeseburger and fries, I go home and make them myself. I get to choose my meat, my cheese, my bun, and how to prepare the fries! So much better than McDonalds!!

I was reading some of the comments and I agree - KFC was something that I can't even get near anymore. Also I know a few people who cook with a LOT of oil/grease which is something I know I used to do and seeing it now makes me cringe. I'm just happy that I'm aware of more of the choices I'm making and I'm trying to be healthier. :)

I don't exactly find it "gross" but my answer is chips.

I used to love chips and eat an entire bags worth within 2 days. I had some a few weeks ago and couldn't even eat them because all I tasted was grease. eek.

I'll still have cheetos or doritos on occasion...but actual potato chips just makes me cringe now.

Fast food french fries...they leave this film of grease on the inside of my mouth that I can't quite get rid of. Threw the last batch out, and that was two years ago!

I also lost my taste for meat--didn't plan on cutting it out. I just can't stand the feeling of chewing it.

Chicken McNuggets! One day I got some and they forgot to give me my sauce. I tried to choke them down without sauce...no go. I realized that if I needed to have sauce in order to make something palatable, I probably should not eat it.
