Makes humans fat and sleep more. Go figure. Humans and bears must not be the same. Or not, both like donuts.

Imagine all the Grant Money that will roll for these worthless studies.

The bears can pick up some Unisom at the same place they get their toilet paper.

Their not worthless, they get lots and lots of government bucks.
Calorie rich, energy dense foods, the bears don’t need to hibernate as long. Gee, there’s a surprise. Normally in the wild bears eat bugs, or fish, carrion etc. Hibernation is an adaptation to very lean living conditions I expect.
When Lewis & Clark rolled through the pacific northwest in 1805 they were eating about 10 pounds of lean Elk daily, and they were still hungry, practically starving. Building up fat reserves against privation is the key to survival.

Mickey Dee french fries taste like cardboard now, unfortunately cute commercials won’t change that. They seem awfully insistent on riding on their past reputation.

The average black bear lives what...4-6 years? Who cares what their cholesterol level is what they die? Very few will ever die of natural causes.

Instead of wasting research dollars, they could have watched Open Season... WooHoo bars.

"Bears that eat human ‘junk food’ ..." So how many animals have their hibernations disturbed from eating 'junk food' that wasn't created by humans?
To: SJackson
These farmed plants concentrate the air’s normally sparse amounts of carbon-13 as they build sugar molecules. This is different from what happens in most wild plants in North America.)This sounds a bit nonsensical. Why would farmed plants accumulate that isotope of carbon in preference to carbon-12, but not plants in the wild? Any Freepers know?
