Loss of the sense of taste

If you were forced to choose one of your 5 senses (smell, sight, touch, taste or hearing) to give up and live without, which would you choose? Why would you choose that sense and not one of the others? What would giving up that sense mean for your every day life? What would giving up that sense mean for your ability to survive in the wild (if you had to)? Lastly, what specific physical structures either in the sense organ itself, the pathway to the brain or the brain could be damaged that would result in the sense you picked not functioning? Make sure to answer all of these questions for full credit. And also remember to show me that you have thought critically about this topic.
