Depending on what the food is, your body might be rewarding you for taking in nutrients that it's low on while you're sick. Like, juice that's high in vitamin C always hits harder when I have a cold. Idk the exact science behind it, but I know that if I'm really craving something/something tastes extra good to me, it's usually because my body is low on something that's in whatever I'm eating or drinking.
googling "why does food taste better when I'm sick" and discovering that everyone else is googling the opposite. I might be an outlier
#thinking about that time i kept making stuff with spinach for like a week bc i was really craving spinach#which is kind of a weird thing to crave if you arent popeye the sailor#and then i mentioned it in passing to a classmate in a nursing program#and she was like oh you're probably low on iron. maybe get a supplement.#so i did and yknow what i felt a lot better after a couple days lol
