Generally when our genes urge us to do something we don't listen, and do what we like instead. Like doing extreme sports, gawping at pictures of dangerous animals, eating things that taste funny, and using contraception. And the whole of human culture.

# Babies are high in salt and fat...
A tasty snack!

# If we paid full attention to the urges of our genes
we'd be constantly eating other people's babies. And then having some ourselves.
