if our evolution led humans to crave calorie dense, fatty, sweet, and salty foods, why dont people find a stick of salted butter dipped in sugar to be delicious?

My family have an old reginal christmas cookie thats basicly just lard and sugar mixed with a bit of flour. Called ‘a fat cookie’ (danish: fedt kage). Everyone dislikes the idea because they grew up with the expectation that cookies need to be cooked (and this one doesnt)… untill they try it, and they all love it. Add some salted almonds in a bowl next to it and they eat too instead of all the other classic christmas treats.
Why dont you think ppl still eat fatty sweet and salty stuff? Think of all the bakery stuff, croissant and donuts ect, its all different kinds og fatty-sweet-salty stuff. Humans move that stuff.
Ahhhh the proverbial “Shame Stick”. Best eaten while sitting in your pajamas on the kitchen floor contemplating all of the bad decisions you’ve made in life.
Texture, honestly. The only thing stopping me from eating butter directly from the dish is that I know the texture will be awful. Same with eating sugar out of the container. Deep fried butter is a popular, if often memed upon, carnival food. All that changes about it from your example is the texture.
