Consider cookies!
There's no certain reason why we humans are built to enjoy sugary products so much. We could easily have bodies that are only capable of digesting motor oil or molten lava or (shudder) yams. Instead, we get these wonderful vessels that thrive on an extremely cheap fuel like water. That benefit from a wide variety of textures and tastes of food. And that even have capacity for enjoying mostly unhealthy treats. We aren't like cats, mostly eating limited, similar foods with all the excitement and resemblance of raw meat or pebbles. Food can be a source of not only sustenance but joy.
Within the next couple hours Dena will return from her friend's with bucketfuls of Christmas cookies. Her baking ability is a topic for a whole other thankfulness post.
