As people age, they may experience a normal decline in their sense of taste, which can lead to food tastelessness. This is due to changes in taste buds and a decrease in the ability to perceive different flavors. Adding spices can help to enhance flavor and enjoyment of food. Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals may also cause taste alterations, but this is not indicated in the scenario provided. Early pancreatic failure and chewing slowly with plain water are not relevant to Jenna's complaint about tastelessness.
