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!

Yeah that part is true, I'm just saying that something tasting good doesn't mean it's good for you

In certain cases, sure. But for the most part, if it tastes good and can be found in nature ready to eat, it's usually good for you. But yes yes yes, certain conditions apply, etc etc yadda yadda.
