sugar and fat are hard to come by when you are a hunter gatherer. Easier in Tescos

Yes
But we have evolved to the point of laziness, and our body can do pretty well without the hours of exercise that our ancestors had. So why hasn't it evolved as well on this food thing too? We are healthier if we're not fat, so our body should feel happier if we're not eating fatty things.

I read somewhere that we're the only creature on earth that craves the things that are bad for us
I know feedig your cat rubbish will make it fat, but if left to its own devices it wouldn't choose to eat cake. Except rats, rats are proper dustbins, my rat won't eat apple or carrot but he loves KFC.

Rats are brilliant
Although bunnies are also pretty cool if you have more time to let them out and stuff.

My rat watches TV with me in the evenings and has whatever I'm having for tea. I'm surprised he's not a lolfatrat.

And maybe don't watch Watership Down for a bit.

awww! they were cute!
I only say P@h, because the animals from there seem to have suspiciously short lifespans

they know nothing about pets in there
it makes me really angry. And they lied to me about the ages of the rats I bought from there.
