    Other than fruit (a seed dispersal mechanism), most “food” doesn’t actually want to be eaten.

    A good way to protect yourself from being eaten is to become poisonous.

    We’ve evolved ways to become immune to some of those poisons, or more recently, we’ve bred plants to be less poisonous.
