A Feed of Convenience

Feeding is not a pretty sight to see!

Feeding is not a pretty sight to see!

When hunger emerges, no potential feed should be overlooked nor shift in dietary requirements be beyond consideration in satisfying the urge.

As a fellow feeder, I have been plagued many a time, even daily, with the perplexing uncertainty of what to eat or feed upon. My first thought is what’s best for my health and the environment, then I look for what is ready, available and accessible, regardless of what my body really needs.

Once the feeding frenzy is over, my mind then has to justify, mostly through denial, the nasty little memos from my body in revolt.

In nature, predators typically seek out the young, the slow or the unaware. I may do the same on more than the physical level with what I regard as a feed opportunity.

I wonder if being an omnivore with so many FEED choices, has led to a twisted moral sense of entitlement to feed on what I will.
