Most kids, and many adults, don't like healthy foods such as vegetables (assuming vegetables are indeed healthy and increase your survival rate). However, unless this is a recent trend (and I doubt it is), why didn't natural selection favor those people with the "I like vegetables" gene over those with a "I hate vegetables" gene. Do the children of other primates dislike vegetables (it does not appear so)? If not, why did natural selection allow humans to carry-on that gene? Furthermore, why do kids and adults prefer to eat unhealthy foods. Why has natural selection allowed that population to thrive?
