But it iscommon that they feel bad about food taste, Do you agree?To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food, They would like to do so becausethey don't want to lose customers However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that athigh altitude(海拔)we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground.
