This can be subjective of course, but generally speaking it is accepted that fresh food tastes better. What exactly happens in the food that makes it lose taste after it has been frozen?

Try this analogy – which seems to help make the case:
Imagine you’re drawing a picture with really bright, colorful markers. When you’ve just finished drawing, the colors are super vibrant and the details are clear. But if you leave the drawing out for a long time, the colors start to fade, and it doesn’t look as lively anymore.
Fresh food is like that bright, colorful drawing you’ve just made. When fruits and veggies are picked from the farm, or when meat is freshly prepared, all the flavors are at their best – like bright colors. Everything is juicy, crunchy, and full of taste.
Now, think about what happens when you put something in the freezer. The cold slows down time for the food, like pausing a video. This helps keep the food from going bad, but it’s not perfect. Some of the juices get trapped in ice, and the food can lose a bit of its crunchiness and flavor – kind of like the colors in the drawing fading away.
When you take the food out of the freezer and warm it up, it’s like trying to bring the faded colors back to life. It’s still good, but sometimes it’s not as juicy or flavorful as when it was fresh.
So, fresh food usually tastes better because it’s like a bright, colorful drawing with all the yummy flavors at their best. Frozen food is still good, but it’s like a drawing that has lost some of its brightness and details.
