because we've evolved to like what's good for us.

Lots of tasty berries will kill you. So will tons of would-be herbs. Processed sugar is delicious. So are a lot of foods with trans fats. Cyanide apparently tastes like almonds. And kids ate lead paint chips because they were sweet.

Nice job, evolution!

    We also developed brains to learn which things will kill us despite tasting good, so that's fine. Very good job, evolution!
