It's not because they don't like our taste. It's because they have a history with humans in which humans mean danger and so there's been a natural selection favouring animals that are scared of humans and keep out of their way.
There are still animals that would eat humans given the chance. In a post to DJCham, I mentioned the Sundarbans.

Cold blooded animals are less shy. Large crocodilians, komodo dragons and piranhas are animals that I don't think would mind a bit of human meat in their diet.
