Nature is all about survival, I get that. We want sex so we'll procreate. We're more attracted to people who are healthy, and blah blah. Even our taste buds help us survive. We like sweet and can taste sweet. Some animals can't, like cats. Cats can't taste sweet, and for good reason. I mean how often is a mouse or a bug sweet? Why would you need to taste sweet if you just eat meat?
Anyway, so we can taste things and some chemical compounds of food taste different ways; pleasing, not pleasing, all that. Like bitter.
Bitter is what most poisons are. We taste bitter and we go "ew" and spit it out. Or at least, that's the theory. Here's my problem with that: taste buds for bitter are in the BACK of your throat, so you take a bite of something poisonous and as you SWALLOW, you taste bitter! By then, its too late! You're already going to DIE!
Really, nature?
