  • No taste because I would be able to live a healthier life, I wouldt have to worry about health food that I dont like the taste.
    Ex: carrot, brocoly, fish, cabage, etc..

    I also would save more money because I wouldt spend on chocolate, potato chips or hamburgers.

  • I voted no taste because most of taste is just smell anyway, so if you had no sense of smell you wouldn't be getting much taste from stuff anyway.

    Also I feel like being able to smell has more practical use in day to day life, as well as in emergencies.

      • Naw. My senses are muted, rather than completely gone. I cant smell when food is being cooked even if I stick my head in the oven, and I think cilantro is bitter, but I can smell shit a mile away on a rainy tuesday.

        Is from childhood years of undiagnosed/ treated sinus allergies (living with cats and midwestern trees. Go figure)

  • Researchers have found that something like 80% of what we think of as the taste of something is actually it's aroma.

    And, as Somenormie has said, the texture of food is also very important. You'd still have that if your taste buds were all dead.

  • To have to smell is to have no taste..... so, I dunno. No smell?

  • Food is incredibly important to me so I have to taste it.

  • No taste. I would lose so much weight. Heck I would probably be more productive if eating was just like another task to get done rather than something to enjoy.

  • Neither, if I can eat dog feces, I can save on groceries.

  • I'm going to go with no smell but hey I would know how the texture of the food is.
