Plants produce tasty fruit for the specific reason that you eat it. The fruit contains seeds and the plants want animals to take the fruit, eat it somewhere else, and leave (or crap out) the seeds so that new plants can grow.

It's an evolutionary adaptation to promote the spread of the species. If plants produce tasty stuff, it means they want you to take it and eat it.
