A page number or something for the ‘more seasoned’ link might be useful. The document is very long and doesn’t appear to contain ‘season-’.
The ‘blander’ link doesn’t look like it supports the claim much, though I am only looking at the abstract. It says that ‘in many instances’ there have been reductions in crop flavor, but even this appears to be background that the author is assuming, rather than a claim that the paper is about. If the rest of the paper does contain more evidence on this, could you quote it or something, since the paper is expensive to see?
Re: seasoning. Page 19: “Miscellaneous foods including spices generally increased from 10 pounds per capita in 1909 to 13 pounds per capita in 2000. Spices were not added to the food supply until 1918. The use of spices increased more than fivefold from one-half pound per capita in 1918 to 2.59 pounds per capita in 2000 (data not shown).”
Have contacted you out of band with a copy of the paper, which does indeed go into more detail than the abstract.
