Truth. If I buy some high-quality meat, it doesn't need any seasoning to be flavorful.

I wouldn't go that far. But if you over season a great cut of meat, it ruins it for sure

I think there's a difference between over-salting a stew, which just means adding more volume, and overseasoning chicken, which will result in chicken that tastes like the seasoning. The former is hard to fix in my experience. The latter is preferred.

That's why it's called overseasoning. Because it's too much.

I don't think this opinion is unpopular. The issue is that people are more afraid of over seasoning food which leads to underseasoning of food. Underseasoning is far more common among home cooks than overseasoning. Too much salt is usually what gets people in trouble. But I can only think of a handful of times where my food was too herby. Garlic powder can bite you pretty good with bitterness. Don't cook with table salt. Kosher salt or the celtic sea salt is the way. MSG is awesome too. Also, if you don't cook with shallots you are doing it wrong. Onions are so 1827.

There's times when I enjoy food for what it is without seasoning.... I like seasoning, but it needing seasoning on everything seems like a problem.
