how come so many people are born with toungs that love junkfood and foods that are salty oposed to health food?
shouldn't adaptation have altered our taste buds so that more people think healthy foods (garlic, broccoli, cauliflower ect) taste good so that we can survive better? how did this people's liking of saltiness (which can lead to many problems) originate

it's a learned taste and your satiated after consuming these items. I believe it comes from when we were cavemen and if we got ahold of a lot of fat from the protein we killed it would satiate and serve us well for a long time. The ramps and weeds we ate...not so much!

The more you eat it, the more you want it. People go for quick easy foods because or lifestyle makes it hard to find time to plan and the easy quick stuff is the bad stuff. You then acquire a taste for it. If you never ate it, you wouldn't like it much
