Huge shout out to these little buddies for showing us what it looks like to truly love food. We should all try to channel their enthusiasm every once in a while—savoring meals would be much more fun.

This little piggy didn’t go the market, didn’t stay home, didn’t have roast beef, and did’t have none. This little piggy…currently, has it ALL. Smooch your ice cream. Smooch it. Spread the love.

Causally chillin. Causally shoving food to the face. Pretty much what happens when you cut up that perfectly juicy, sweet, crunchy watermelon.

Did someone say dessert?? Delighted may be an understatement. This here pup exemplifies the only appropriate reaction for when dessert is served.

Sadly we have reached the end of this adorable and epic round up of animals eating food. It’s okay to be currently contemplating veganism. These buddies are too dang cute. #smoochyouricecream #pledgeallegiancetopizza #snacktime #endlesscandy #HELLOdessert
