      Most seeds are packed full with oils and fats, and seeds grow on plants, so yes. Also, I have heard that avocado is quite fatty, which grows on plants too.

      There are lots of different types of oils and fats. I think fat is just frozen oils so I guess that it could, but it wouldn’t be the same type of fat as you found round the edges of bacon.
