Somehow this really drives home how unhealthy that shit looks. Not that I've ever seen a human drink it, but it still feels like humans consume so much garbage food anyways (especially those that would drink this stuff voluntarily), that it doesn't make much of a difference in the end.

Meanwhile, this monkey eats healthy foods his whole life, so a gulp of colored sugar water with extra chemicals just feels much worse in comparison.

It's an ape. That apparently has no neck, long hair and floats mid-air? Not sure. Not sure about what it normally eats either.

Yeah, I consider it silly/destructive to exclude apes from monkeys:

Apes emerged within monkeys as sister of the Cercopithecidae in the Catarrhini, so cladistically they are monkeys as well. However, there has been resistance to directly designate apes (and thus humans) as monkeys

A.k.a. "humans are not animals" with extra steps, which has always been used for dodging moral questions.

And it's just a shot from top-down at an angle, so you can't see the rest of his body or neck.

It looks like a chimpanzee to me, so this would be the diet:

The chimpanzee is an omnivorous frugivore. It prefers fruit above all other food, but it also eats leaves, leaf buds, seeds, blossoms, stems, pith, bark, and resin.
