12、the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste.

13、ause they dont want to lose customers.However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude( 海拔 )we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off.
14、 As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure( 气压 ) reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉 )of our taste buds( 味蕾 ).So our taste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses dont know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain wh
