Greetings ~
If some birds eat fish
and some eat seeds
some eat worms and insects
some are carnivores
some are fruit eaters...~ and all are considered 'birds' ... and it is accepted as normal that they all have *completely* different diets ~~ they why are human beings not trusted to do the same: to choose what is right for them?After all, no department of agriculture draws up a food pyramid for birds. Are human beings thought of as so stupid
as not to know what is best to eat?In any case, I once found on the Internet the following 'food pyramid':Bittersweet Chocolate
Milk Chocolate
White Chocolate
%26 Chocolate Truffles Now, THAT is a food pyramid ...even though they forgot the Hungarian Pastries!Jests aside, could you be an angel and give some sort of answer? Tease if you will, but please....? Thank you.
Answer:
lol the birds have different diets because they are different SPECIES, not just different KINDS or ethnicities, ,but whole different SPECIES. the name "bird" is just a general blanket term.. if we have different SPECIES of humans, then i say go for it
You have too much time on your hands. You should be looking for employment.....
They all eat different things as do humans. (ex: vegitarians, meateaters, I have a neighbor that only eats meat and cheese.) All preference I guess.
Certain birds live in certain areas where one supply of food is more ample than another.
Say, for instance, a bird in the desert is more likely to eat bugs because it rarely rains in the desert so there is no fruit.
And a bird in the rainforest will eat whatever because there are lots of bugs and fruit around.
Then
Kingfishers have beaks designed to fish, a mockingbird wouldn't try to fish because he isn't properly equipped for fishing.
Just like some birds have blunt, wide beaks for cracking nuts while others have long, slender beaks.
Like the Toucan and a crane.
A Toucan lives off nuts because he can crack those hard nuts in the rainforest, the crane can't.Humans, however, all have the same type of teeth.
And with technology, food can be preserved and shipped overseas. We can eat whatever we want. Not to say we always do, but we have that option to. Birds don't.
Birds have beaks that vary, so they eat what's easiest to obtain with that beak.
If we resorted to hunting for our own food, then we'd be more like the birds and we wouldn't be so concerned with a food pyramid.
We would only get what's in our area and what's easy to catch.
I got a little confused, with your long post...so, I'm guessing the question is, "Why are humans given information regarding their diets, such as food pyramids, that suggest what is proper for them to eat in a well-balanced diet?" Well, your answer is...not every human being is well-educated. That's a sad fact. most Americans do not know what is a proper portion of food. Yes, we are all grown-ups, and we should be allowed to make our own decisions, and for the most part, we do. that's why America has the highest mortality rates, due to diabetes, (including childhood diabetes,) heart attacks, and other food-induced health issues. We are a nation of over weight people! That should speak volumes! as far as people who make their own choices! Now, imagine, you've been given advice, a guideline to follow, some information you weren't born with, (animals are born with instinct, and it isn't until they are domesticated that they become fat and lazy,) and now you have the knowledge to understand what is healthy, and what isn't...but, you can still make up your own mind if you want to eat that Twinkies!
hmmmmmmmmactually differences in bird beaks (from eating different foods) was noticed by Darwin, and that led to his theoryin people, I think that until 100 years ago, for almost all people everywhere, getting Any kind of food and enough of it was the issue. Especially high fat or sweet foods were rare. Thats why we like em so much.Now, when most of us have some choice about what to eat or not, wise choices are prudent.
