A channel called Plant Chompers has valuable information in an enjoyable context. Here we are talking about the primary cause of the obesity epidemic in the US.

And I particularly enjoyed this comment below the video:
"It's pretty obvious fats are not hyper-palatable without the addition of salt or sugar or both. Single fats on their own are relatively tasteless. But they are hyper-caloric, and that allows eating smaller portions of food in a meal, another reason to call these meals "fast", gulping down 1000 cals in minutes. How long does it take to eat 1000 cals of whole fruits and veggies? Convenience is killing us! As "The Pleasure Trap" (book) points out our basic instincts are to avoid pain, seek pleasure, and conserve energy. Without responsible governance we are very easy to take advantage of. It's all about the GDP baby!"Yeah, that was me lol :)
Very interesting and entertaining.
