But seeds in fruit are not supposed to be digested. Fruits expect 
their seeds to pass through be deposited some place else.

This is what I have drafted so far:

The effort to collect most seeds would not be as optimal as 
collecting other foods, unless collected as a condiment for the 
seed's taste. Some meaty seeds, like sunflower, may have been a food.
