This is actually a good anecdote, which makes me wonder: Did we evolve our taste mechanism to make meat and everything nourishing to taste good, so we can actively seek and put effort into acquiring next meal that tastes better?

Yes. That is what taste and smell are for. Unfortunately people have figured out how to grow/make/prepare food that tastes good but is not good for us.
