Digg Commenter Confused About Origins of Meme

A Digg commenter recently became confused as to the origin of the internet meme, "OHM NOM NOM." When others replied with responses and explanations as to the history and origin of the meme, it became apparent that none of them actually knew where the meme came from.

The commenter who raised the question, nate263, was expecting a response from the bootlegging, stating, "Can someone please tell me what this meme means? I see it a lot but I'm confused as to it's origins."

User accolade1 jumped in first with an informative but somewhat sarcastic statement
being, "Read: Delicious" this statement, while a satisfactory answer to Nate263's first question, neglected to address the possible origins of the meme.

The second reply, by user whackly, attempted to fill the holes left by the previous poster, citing a YouTube video, and stating, "I believe the original source was the weird noise many cats make when trying to warn you away from their food."

However, another YouTube cited reply by stavrogin2 seems to conflict with this
explanation, saying, "It's from cookie monster. That's good enough for me."

Another user, Deskflyer, implied the possibility that it was simply an onomatopoeia for eating, Whackly agreed and changed his position to reflect both cats and onomatopoeia, noting cat's role as a meta-mem within the internet.

A late reply by user mrfunktastic suggested the meme harkens back to the Grimace and McDonald's commercials run in the 1960's. He cited a YouTube video, though, unfortunately, it was a Rick Roll.

The Daily Century Lulz Department also has no solid evidence as to the origins of the meme, though they speculate that, like many others, it was simply started by a random /b/tard without rational thought or meaning.
