Well it's not like plants are made for us to eat but we still eat them
Actually lots of the plant parts we eat did evolve being eaten as part of the survival plan. Fruits disperse seeds and keep us less interested in eating more vital parts of the plant.
Not particularly by us, the same as milk didn't evolve to be particularly drunk by humans
"Not particularly by us" OK then not particularly by anything by that logic, as we're very much included in the wide range of animals who's dietary needs have conditioned the evolution of fruit-based seed dispersal. Fact of the matter is we've been eating and pooping out seeds for the entire existence of our species and likely the entire existence of our mammalian lineage. We did evolve to eat fruit and they did evolve to be eaten by us.
We evolved to benefit from our own milk, too. Though only for the first year or so of life.
Everything is made to eat, you just gotta make it
But that includes milk
