Lessons from Bears

Bears are getting ready for winter. Some bears are showing up in people's houses, breaking into their cars and rummaging through their trash. Bears are getting aggressive in their pre hibernation efforts, especially in Colorado. People have been told for years, not to feed the bears, but have not listened. Now people in some Colorado towns are being beseeched to scare the bears away.. yell, throw rocks, call the police, but do NOT encourage the foraging beasts.

Here are some things to be learned from the experience of Coloradans :

1) Processed foods that people eat are high in fat and calories
2) Berries, nuts and plants are low in both
3) To gain weight for the winter's rest, bears consume about 20,000 calories a day
4) It is easier and more efficient to eat the foods found in cars, trash and kitchens, then to eat hours and hours and hours of plant based foods
5) If you do not want to gain layers upon layers of fat like bears do, then eat the plant based diet!
