Answer 1

Food actually has taste.

It is chemicals telling our brain that creates the sensation of taste.

That is what taste *is*. It is the perception created by our brain based on the chemicals in the food that trigger responses from nerves in your mouth and tongue. This is what taste “actually” is.
