Both pork and poultry tasted better thirty years ago for several
reasons.

First is that they weren't pumping the animals full of hormones and
other crap back then.

Lastly it is because we've bred our animals to be lean. Fat does lend a
large amount of flavor to many foods.

Brining seems to be the only way to get chicken or pork that tastes
good.
