What is the EVOLUTIONARY ADVANTAGE...

of foods that taste good individually tasting terrible when together?

For instance, I like chocolate, and I also like cheeseburgers.  So why shouldn't I enjoy a chocolate-covered cheeseburger?

Are you saying you don't?

I don't know, I can't cook and I can't find anywhere I can buy one.

EVOLUTIONARY ADVANTAGE
chocolate-covered cheeseburger
The advantage that you die and people who can actually taste when things are bad for them, live.
Therefor in the future humans will stop eating such things.

Not everything has an evolutionary advantage. Some things are true because they are related -- completely by chance -- to other things which are true as well as evolutionarily advantageous.

That could be entirely cultural. Like religious Jews who would vomit at the thought of eating pork with cream sauce. Besides, the old world didn't have access to cocoa until the conquest of the new world.

There are some (dis)tastes that are possibly genetic ie coreander tasting like soap, but when you're starving you're gonna eat stuff no matter the taste.

Maybe tasting that particular combination is ancestrally indicative of harmful foods.

Maybe its a random side effect that wasn't selected against because it never occurred ancestraly.

Mice prefer to eat new foods in isolation, so that if they get sick they know what caused it, maybe that's related somehow.

Maybe it would taste good if you were used to it.
