Why did you evolve such that sugary and greasy foods taste good?

Our bodies need calories for energy and sweet foods contain glucose, which has 4 calories per gram and greasy foods contain fat, which has 9 calories per gram, and are often also accompanied by proteins, which not only have 4 calories per gram, but the amino acids that compose proteins can be used by our bodies to construct the proteins our bodies need to thrive and grow. Foods that are sugary and sweet are good sources of glucose, which is very easily adapted by the body to energy, which is perfect when you need that quick energy boost to escape the lion that's been stalking you and has finally decided you'd make the perfect meal. Greasy foods are good sources of fat and proteins, which can be stored by the body long-term to help survive harsh winters or other lean times. In the times before food processing and refinement, these kinds of foods were not easy to come by and so we have evolved to easily recognize foods that contain these important sources of energy, aka they taste good.
