So because someone has numbed taste buds (which by the way is a fact for a huge part of the population) you somehow conclude from that that I said they are wrong??
You have great imagination.
If you can eat something covered in salt that is so salty that you can only taste salt and none of the food, you either really like salt or have numbed taste buds. If you can not taste the chemicals in the protein powder or diet drinks then you have numbed taste buds, or how else would you explain being unable to taste the chemicals, unless of course you like the taste of chemicals.
Your brain is obviously on overdrive just coming up with things that people have supposedly said but never have, and other stuff you just make up about people.
Well if you would chunder about eating steak, chicken, salmon, salad, veggies, eggs, berries, etc then yes you have strange taste but no one ever said that that is wrong, just strange.
