Your preference in food has pretty much nothing to do with the fact that our ancestors most certainly hunted food.

Hell, even chimps hunt.

our ancestors ate mostly hunted food

Actually, most archeologists and paleoanthropologists are beginning to accept that most meat was SCAVENGED, not hunted, as I mentioned earlier.

It is through scavenging that humans became "omnivores" capable of eating meat in the first place, but we certainly didn't become carnivores that should eat meat as any significant part of their diet.

Your preference in food

Trichinellosis, Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, Listeria, E. Coli, and Trichina worms will effect anyone, so my "preference in food" is based upon characteristics present in all humans.

As for the taste, fruits taste the best raw/uncooked for everyone with natural taste-buds. My taste-buds aren't abnormal.

You are restricting the definition of "ancestor" to suit your purposes.
