Since making the full switch to vegan, I can taste flavors much more intensely now. Vegetables and grains, especially. I am totally happy to eat a dish that contains just quinoa, some steamed vegetables, and just a dash of some standard spices (oregano, pepper, etc.). No need to add cheese or oils or dressings, the pure taste of veggie is enough! I have talked to another vegan about this recently, and we agreed- its like we had to get all of the bad stuff out of our bodies to truly experience the awesomeness of natural flavors!

Same. I do not get cheese cravings anymore and in fact slipped and had some cheddar and had to spit it out it was so gross. i also grave vegetables like brussel sprouts and broccoli. yum!

Definitely. I was craving blueberries and strawberries the other day with the all the intensity I used to crave cookies with. Sadly the blueberries and strawberries were out of my budget that day, the cookies would not have been. America needs to take a close look at its subsidies and do some serious shifting around.

Totally. Gone are the days where I craved french fries and pizza. Even the smell of such things almost nauseates me. Even on plant based my taste buds continue to change. I think it's more about adaptability and availability.

I do find eating raw is overall more efficient to the body’s need to run efficiently (in my case as a long distance runner/cyclist). I do occasionally eat things like organic cereals and granola, but I find these foods are dense calories that I prefer to only eat if I have burned an excessive of calories. I pretty much eat unlimited fruit as snacks and with meals—a solid smoothie with protein and a well rounded salad. I cater this to my training and it runs between 1800-3000 calories depending on how active I am.

But the short answer to your question is I don't expect I will be eating the same thing this time next year, my taste buds are always changing. Luckily with fruit, I eat whatever is abundant in season and it gives me a good variety year-round.
