Animals that were formerly self-sufficient are now showing signs of belonging to the Democratic Party
as they have apparently learned to just sit and wait for the government to step in and provide for their care and sustenance. This photo is of a Democrat bear in Montana nicknamed, Bearack Obearma.
Sorry but that's just nonsense. There's supposedly more fiber in whole wheat bread, but there's nothing truly wrong with white bread either. That's just more media pseudoscience hype.
“Anybody can tell you that feeding wild animals at all is detrimental to them. It teaches them to be dependent to the point that their survival skill are impaired and theyre at the mercy of the whim of those who feed them. Its like welfare.”
I thought that was called “symbiosis.”

shoot, there goes my whisky sammiches.
LOL...
I’ll drink to that.
We can’t feed ducks anything at our local parks in California.
You are right, white bread will kill ya, it killed my grandma at 95 cuz she ate it every day.
Maybe I’m not as sensitive as this lady, but it didn’t appear as though she was actually told off. Seemed like he was trying to educate her. It wasn’t like he made her stop or kicked her out of the park or anything. Of course, not hearing the tone in which he said this puts us at a disadvantage.
Government worker with too much time on his hands.
LOL
I take care of a friend who is 100yrs old and 4 months. She loves white bread, cake and sweets. All crap I cannot stand.
I buy seeded whole wheat she won’t eat it.
I buy fruit tart pies, not that stuff from a can and she won’t eat that.
She has to have dessert for lunch and dinner. I hate dessert.
She loves Sees candy and I only like white chocolate.
I told her last year if she didn’t change her diet she might not make to 100.
Well here we are and she probably going to make to 101 and will still have better blood pressure than most people over 30.
She get up every morning saying “It’s gonna be a great day!” and then she runs on two speeds: Forward and Faster.
She says you just gotta have a good outlook on your day and everything always works out or there abouts.
Congratulations to your Grandma. I’m sure she lived a full life.
Whoa friend! Don’t do that, now.
Ain’t nothing wrong with some good Tennessee Whiskey or Rye.
I prefer American Eagle. Yum!
A number of years ago (in the '80s, I think), a study was done to test nutritional claims made for various breads. Some lab rats were fed just enriched white bread, others were fed various whole grain breads.
The "white bread" rats stayed healthy, the others became malnourished. Funny, enriching bread really does seem to work.
Ducks cannot live on White Bread only, they must have peanut butter! :^})
Peanut butter in the mouth of a duck or swan is funny as Hell!
Try it.
Oh yeah, along with all that lard, pigs feet,smokehouse salt cured bacon and ham.Meat and vegetables with all three meals each day, raw milk and all the cheezes made with it.My mother had the same diet, she is 86 and still deer hunts every year, cuts her own grass and has a garden.
I actually just never cared for the taste of it.
See my post above about my friend who is 100. She eats stuff I would never eat and she’s still around.
She even peels her apple and won’t eat the potato skin. Which works out for both of us. I love the peel of an apple or even the whole thing, seeds and all.
I cannot stand the inside of a russet potato but love the skin.
I prefer red potato’s and he won’t touch em’.
Cracks me up.
It really is an outlook thing. Most of the people I have know that die before 60 sweat everything and woke up on the wrong side of bed.
All the old people look at their day as starting off good and maybe getting better. They then get moving and smile just about all day.
Gag. I don’t care for ham either. LOL but love a good burnt bacon from time to time. Maybe once a year.
Good for your Mom. She has things to do and probably looks forward to getting stuff and her accomplishments.
Pretty cool she still hunts. Who drags the carcass back for parts and pieces?
“Anybody can tell you.....”
Now you got me curious. While it does seem like feeding wild animals could be bad in that it would lure them into close contact with humans, I find it hard to believe it would actually impare their survival skills. I can’t imagine seeing a flock of ducks just sitting around on a pond, slowly starving to death, because someone quit feeding them. In fact, couldn’t it be argued that the extra feed could make them stronger and thus lay more eggs, raise more ducklings, etc.? I personally don’t have strong feelings on the issue one way or the other. It just strikes me as a little extreme to think wild animals are so helpless.
