Do you think that eating a diet of fruits and vegetables will enable you to fit into your skinny jeans? What about shellfish, will that help you lose weight? Let’s go to the zoos and aquariums to see the results of animals that eat these diets exclusively.
Hippopotamus diets consist primarily of flood plain grasses with an occasional garnish of fallen fruit depending on the area. In the wild, hippopotamuses spend their day wallowing in the water at their favorite riverside beach waiting to overturn small boats. Hippopotamuses are an extremely fat animal, with a round body, short, stocky legs, and a large head. Once darkness falls they venture ashore to look for tall green grass to munch on.
An adult hippopotamus’ weight is 6,000 - 8,000 pounds. These rolly-polly animals spend each night grazing and fill their massive stomachs with as much as 150 pounds of grass to maintain their body weight.
the motto of a company i used to work for was... “Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a Lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”
This one has it but it’s not named as such, probably due to copyright issues.
I got ours at Sears on clearance.
Your only mistake is not putting cheese in the hot dog before you wrap it in bacon....yummy, my grandkids like it without the bacon, just cheesy dogs they call them..
Thank you for the suggestion. I will try it next time.
Now that is funny, I don’t care who you are....to quote the cable guy...
I suggest you use real cheese like colby...I have used Velvetta but it has a lot of liquid that when heated makes it less tasty than a colby or any other cheese one likes..
