cheesecake:

Consider the energy and essence of life in every bite of cheesecake.

A cow, with considerable effort and time, grazes an entire day to glean the nutrients out of thousands of blades of grass, which have harnessed the energy of the sun, and minerals of the earth and sea all to give sustenance to that cow.

That cow in turn funnels the entirety of her labors into her milk which is hijacked and extorted by diary farmers and accumulated in vats. Quite literally the "fat of the land" is then skimmed off and salted, processed into condensed life.

Sugar cane, using a similar process collects the energies of life which is collected, condensed and added to the fat.

Each bite of cheesecake represents life force. Pure energy collected, stored and disbursed in decadent fashion. When you consider the fact that every time energy is transferred, there is energy lost, you realize what that bolus truly cost. And probably why you pack the memory around on your gut for the rest of your life.
