While I'm sure not everyone had access to sweet fruit all the time, are you sure it was really so rare?
Fruit is meant to be eaten, so as long as plants have the spare energy, I don't see why they wouldn't make lots of appealing fruit.
Veggies would make more sense to be bitter.
Also, where did you get 1000 generations from? That's 20000 years in one place. It seems like a lot of humans would be a lot more mobile than that.
