It feels to me that as fruits and vegetables are engineered for fast growing, longevity, and visual appeal that taste has dropped.

Meanwhile all the ultra processed foods also focus on packing in an absurd amount of taste and things like mouth feel for maximum addict-ability.

Then we wonder why people have a harder time making the right choice.
