I don't know if it's due to my anxiety disorder or that I quit smoking 6 months ago but reasontly food flavours are getting so strong to the point I dislike them I've always hated meat but everything else (except some fruit) I dislike coz the flavours are way to strong even newly brought food I don't know what to do.

    I think thats the norm when you stop smoking.you can taste things better. But yr anxiety may well make it slightly more intollerable. But tasting yr food is much healthier than smoking again.
