Why did humans evolve to crave sugar when it’s so bad for us?

I am planning on deleting this article. I feel regret for posting this article. My heart hurts.

Very counterintuitive. WHY doesn’t sugar improve mood? Doesn’t eating sugar add sugar to the bloodstream? Should we genetically modify humans so that they feel less hungry after eating sugar or that humans would have increased metabolism in response to sugar? Should we genetically modify humans so that sugar improves their mood?

Look at all the bad things sugar does!

Why did humans evolve to crave sugar when it’s so bad for us?

I’ve heard the reason is that sugar is rare in the wild. Really? Look at all the abundance of sugar in fruit… Maybe the sugary fruits are genetically modified or selectively bred from the wild counterparts with little sugar.

Humans can survive a lifelong sugar free diet. All they have to do is eat protein and starch which they will convert into blood sugar.

I know for sure that salt is rare in the wild. Vegetation as a whole hardly has any natural salt. Couldn’t humans that live in coastal areas or near salt lakes, just add saltwater to food?

Is fat rare? What about the tallow in beef and the lard in pork? Isn’t fat more common in animals than in plants?

Let’s genetically modify humans so that metabolism increases with percentage visceral fat.

Humans can just eat protein and starch which can be converted into saturated fat. Therefore, humans can survive a lifelong diet free of saturated and trans fat.

Why didn’t humans evolve that starch would taste sweet to them?

Why didn’t we evolve to crave vitamins and protein when it’s so good for us?

Let’s use eugenics to select against humans that crave sugar. Let’s use eugenics to favor humans that crave vitamins and protein. Let’s also genetically modify humans to crave protein. Genetically modify humans to not crave sugar and saturated fat but instead crave protein.
