Anything that encourages the production of offspring serves the function of essentially zerging life. Whether you choose to conceive of such a thing as a design or just random this-or-that..it still serves the same purpose in the same way.
You'll have to be more specific about eating..different chemicals in different foods (and our own little chem factories) make us feel a bunch of things when we eat. Chemistry, blah blah blah. Again, designed or not..thats the way the chemicals in food and us interact. Eating food can also make you feel pain...and death - keep that in mind.

Good point regarding our food being designed to be enjoyable by us. I don't suppose tearing the bloody raw meat off a gazelle and eating its innards is TOO pleasurable for a lion, rather they just do so to survive.
Sorry, what a load of crap. Lions have tongues, tongues have taste buds, the chemicals in that food stimulate their brain as much as when you drink caffeine or sugar. That is really an ignorant statement to assume other animals are mere robots.
Animals share many of the same attributes as humans. They can be stimulated by food, by play, by companionship and they have unique personalities just like humans, just like your domestic cat or dog.
And I can tell you, both my cat and dog can be quite picky about the food I give them.
