Answer 1

When we say “healthy” today we often mean not eating too much, but the more typical problem in human history and in nature is not having enough. In most places it’s easy to find plants with some degree of nutrition, but if you try to survive on that alone you’ll starve. Stuff like salt and fat are an important part of your diet and their deliciousness is a good incentive to put in the work to get enough of them.
