People would be easily poisoned and have no clue when food had gone bad.

There are other ways to tell that stuff. You could check by the appearance, smell, or texture

But if something tastes bitter it usually means it’s poisonous, so we wouldn’t be able to tell if we’re eating poison or not.

Porbably be marketed on smell then.
-
The senses are intrinsically linked, so unlikely
-
So they say, but raises the question of things that smell great and taste horrid such as perfume. Also on a personal level, I have next to no sense of smell, but my taste works fine.
-
Vast majority of perfumes do not smell edible to me; they smell like poison. Many things smell nice, but not like food. And it take purposeful action to make something inedible smell like food. Have you ever had a sense of smell as comparison, out of curiosity?
-
Nope. The most I can get is the sharp twinge of smoke, or a vague distate for extremely potent cleaning chemicals/adhesives (which is more a taste in the back of the throat).
-
There's also the mental connection I've made to the warmth and humidity to steam coming off a pan to mean breakfast, but that's not really a smell.

We'd probably eat the same, nutrient dense food over and over again, like dogs

We would eventually starve because we wouldn't have any incentive to eat because we couldn't get any happiness out of it
-
Well I'm pretty sad when I'm hungry and pretty happy when I'm full.

Not true. Taste lets us know when something's gone bad / poisonous / etc, when we wouldn't know just from looking
-
Ever heard of a nose
-
Nope. What's a nose?
-
I don't know. That's why I'm asking.
