/ck/ - Food & Cooking

good question

how is it a misconception, they literally do love all of those things because they are in starvation mode half the time and greatly enjoy any food they can get

mice dont really like cheese that much
bread is mashed up seeds
youre 10000 times the size of rice
adult cats dont really prefer milk to water and it gives them diarrhea
rabbits dig up roots to eat all the time

mostly im just pissed that you dont know SHIT about animals

I don't even get what your point is. what so you mean by "like this"?

>>18389439
>rabbits are not subterranean
Somebody here never read Watership Down.

>>18389439
Are you retarded lmao

>>18389439
why aren't other animals allowed to enjoy our food?

>>18389446
2/5. Not bad.

rabbits literally are subterranean creatures

>OP loves cock in his mouth even though he is a man
nature is crazy bro

>>18389439
Humans have the intelligence to create concentrated versions of carbs, proteins, minerals etc. That's why animals go crazy for them.

How have you gotten this far in life?

Apes love bread too

>>18389639
Apes love watermelons

>>18389439
>cats love fish even though they are incapable of fishing

>>18389711
Cat are smart enough to fish.Both small and large

>>18389439
>Why do humans have stereotypes about which of their own foods different domesticated or locally common animals seem to prefer?
How is that weird at all?

North American crows love pistachios, even though pistachios are native to the middle east and central Asia. They also love peanuts which are native to South America. Nature is weird.

>>18389471
heh

>>18389442
Its not a good question its some /r/iam14andthisisdeep shit. Humans find lots of things that are not naturally occurring delicious.

>>18389439

Uhh, what is honey? What is fruit?

>>18389643
Elephants love watermelons, too, but not peanuts. My aunt's elephant went fucking nuts for watermelon but mostly ate alfalfa, corn and cabbage/lettuce with the occasional sugar cane and fruit but her favourite by far was watermelon.

Preteens too

I've read chimps prefer cooked meat
They even had an experiment where chimps could get cooked meat by putting raw meat into a toy chest, and the contents would be secretly switched for cooked after some time had passed, to simulate whether chimps would "cook" if they had the option. Answer is yeah they totally would, they're just too stupid for fire.

my cat absolutely fucking loves bread and cream, he will snatch toast or pastries out of my hand with two paws while standing on his back legs

>>18392092
My cat liked bread and also potato's.

>>18390692
American cottontails aren't the basis for cultural depictions of rabbits inbred Cletus, European rabbits (aka wild ancestors of the domestic bunny) are. And they make burrows in the wild.

FYI to all rabbitards. Rabbits don’t actually like eating too many carrots because of the high sugar content.

twinkies don't exist in nature but americans can't stop shoveling them into their faces, but even if you want to say
>humans don't count
dog and cat and fish and bird food all don't exist in nature but surprise, animals enjoy being fed.

>>18389439
>Op loved tendies that mommy cooked
>OP loved warm milk that mommy served
Why are faggots like this?

must be something to do with the animal cells

>>18389439
Cheese is a universally good source of protein. Nice aren't smart and will eat cable wires
Bread is terrible for birds and it's discouraged to feed them that.
Elephants like anything
Cars are lactose intolerant same as every other animal and it will make them sick and throw up if they drink milk
Rabbits don't actually like carrots, that's a meme, they love the green parts of the carrot, they prefer celery and cabbage instead.

>>18393313
Zero answers to the question. Really just a rephrasing of the OP. Interesting post.

>>18389471
fucking kek

Astounding by the low IQ on /ck/. OP isn’t making a point about animals like certain foods, he’s making a point about humans associating certain foods with certain animals when:
1) most animals love all foods equally
2) there are better foods to associate with these animals
Like why don’t we associate watermelon with elephants instead of peanuts since they clearly like watermelons more?

>>18391786
>>18392621
>>18393146

Nope to us they are two different species. The translator fucked me over it should have been hare and rabbit ? Or something like that.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_hare
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_rabbit
From what I gathered the one people keep as pets we have beem raising meat and those are the ones who love to dig holes.
The wild one just fart the young ones into shalow hole.

>>18392092
When I was a kid one of my friends' cat loved banana.

>>18389471
Well done sir

Elephants love pumpkins.

My old dog, before he died at 17, loved apples, beer, coffee with milk, cider, green tea, croissonts, hummus, yogurt etc. He even liked cursed foods for dogs like garlic bread, hot chocolate, chocolate cake, french onion soup etc. He absolutely refused to eat dog food unless it has curry or gravy on top. Pretty sure he would have smoked weed given the chance, I think he ate an edible once. He wasnt a big dog either, he was a jack russel with huge upper body muscles, a jacked russel.


Some animals prefer to try new things.

>>18394063
Bruh, why’re you feeding your dog chocolate?

>>18394065
He loved it so why not. I like my pets to be happy.

>>18394063
I hope this a joke post.

>>18394075
You're an idiot and you poisoned your dog

>>18394081
You're a retard for reading clickbait top 10 facts articles. Most stuff which is toxic to animals that's spread on the internet the animal would have to eat at least its own weight in before they get any form of toxicity poisoning. This goes triple for the extra retards avoiding certain plants in the house cos they would have to eat a trees worth of leaves in order to get ill. Dogs and cats have lived off table scrapings for thousands of yours, mong. I bet you that you are the type of person that never feeds cats meat despite them being strict carnivores.

>>18394065
When he was young he drank almost two litres of milk. He looked liked he was going to explode and my dad said would probably die. I was distraught, but he not only didn't die he seemed to be satisfied and content. When I was 15 I visited Japan and returned with a lot of chocolate in my suitcase. He somehow got into it and ate a lot of it. He was totally unaffected, so from then on I realised all those rules about what you can feed your dog are bullshit. He ate heaps of chocolate, onions, avocado etc and it never affected him in a bad way.

>>18394097
You're not an idiot, you're a full blown retard.

>>18394097
>Cardiac symptoms of chocolate toxicity occur around 40 to 50 mg/kg, and seizures occur at dosages greater than 60 mg/kg.
This is from American Kennel Club website.

>>18394104
Yes, sure I am. The one who discussed this topic with vets, biologists, and botanists. I await your buzz feed article rewritten in a reddit post as your argument.

>>18391800
Sure do

>>18394102
He also ate chicken bones and any sort of seafood, fish, crab, squid, shark, sting ray, fresh and saltwater eel, octopus. He ate all their guts raw too which I fed to him as I prepared them. Like I said, the only thing he absolutely refused to eat was plain dog food or lettuce for some reason.

>>18392081
I guarantee I could teach a chimp to make fire. And he could probably teach it on to other chimps.

In fact, let's get this party started.

>>18392869
We had rabbits when I was a kid and they definitely preferred the green top to the root, yeah. All our dogs love carrots, though, but that might just be for the crunch.

>>18394111
Do you give multiple chocolate bars to your tiny dog? Do you understand the concept of weight and ratio at all?

>>18393182
Yeah, actually.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYq6QovmH1A

You may have heard the expression "a brace of conies" which just means two rabbits.

>>18394126
Jack Russel is like 7kg. so a harmful dose starts at 0.49g or 0.0172 ounces. That would be 1.15% of a Hershey bar. Unless you are measuring the chocolate your dumbass is giving to your dog with a drug scale you are the retard here.

>>18393313
>Cars are lactose intolerant same as every other animal and it will make them sick and throw up if they drink milk
Ignoring your amusing typo, cats develop the lactose intolerance as they mature. If they grow up drinking milk they remain tolerant of it. This of course explains why cats on dairy farms can have milk just fine and your housecat cannot.

>>18394145
Well explain how my dog lived to 17 then.

>>18394148
By you posting this as a bait.

>>18394153
What's the bait? Haha you believed my dog ate chocolate? That's retarded and a waste of time. I just wanted to share his eating habits.

>>18394145
I am NOT defending giving your dog chocolate, but you might want to check your maths on that a little, anon.
7 kg is a bit over 15 pounds, so that would come to a bit over 15 ounces to be a lethal dose.
That said, dogs very regularly get sick or die from getting into the owner's chocolate stash, so they absolutely can, and will, eat enough for it to be bad for them.
I don't know if it accumulates in the body either. I.e. one piece of chocolate might be fine for your dog, but if he has a piece every day it builds up an effect and gets him sick eventually.

There are so many other fucking snacks you can give your dog and not have to worry about that shit at all.

>>18394169
it is milligrams PER kg of your dog.

>>18394169
But I do seem to have made a mistake with my math. It's actually 0.28 grams not 0.49 grams so much less.

>>18389439
>>rabbits love carrots...even though carrots grow underground and rabbits are not subterranean creatures
rabbits in my yard (Florida) absolutely do burrow down into holes under my hedges

my parrots? love chicken

>>18394172
>>18394177
Says in the pic it's an ounce per pound.
A 15 pound dog comes to a lot more than 0.0172 ounces in that case.

>>18394213
I used these >>18394111 numbers on AKC website.

>>18394145
>>18394177
Do you have any fucking idea of how little 280 mg of milk chocolate is?
Dead dogs would be littering the streets if your "calculations" were correct.
Fucking check yourself instead of doubling down like a retard.

>>18394215
So you're even more retarded than I thought. I assumed you just had some numbers mixed up.
The numbers on that site are not measurements of plain chocolate, you fucking numbskull.
You might as well be trying to argue that eating the core of an apple kills you with cyanide poisoning or that a banana will give you radiation illness.

>>18394219
>40mg/kg x 7kg = 280mg

>>18394227
Ok I give you that.
Hershey bar is around 44 grams.
It has 30% of pure chocolate so bit over 14 grams.
0.28 grams out of that is 2%.
So unless the numbers on their website are wrong I don't know why more dogs aren't dying from chocolate poisoning.

>>18389439
Mice love peanut butter
Dogs love peanut butter
Cats love catnip
Birds love seeds, idiots just feed them stale bread
Rabbits love leafy greens

>>18394244
Those numbers are not for chocolate, you fucking illiterate.
https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/what-to-do-if-your-dog-ate-chocolate/

"Knowing how much and what kind of chocolate your dog ate can help you and your vet determine if you have an emergency. In general, mild symptoms of chocolate toxicity occur when a dog consumes 20 mg of methylxanthines per kilogram of body weight. Cardiac symptoms of chocolate toxicity occur around 40 to 50 mg/kg, and seizures occur at dosages greater than 60 mg/kg."

Turns out a Hershey bar isn't made of 30% methylxanthines, if you were wondering.

I left the thread. Thanks for the support if you're the other anon with the facts.

People are too fucking paranoid about all this "unhealthty" clickbait being spread around. They are doing more harm to their animals by keeping them caged in their house and not feeding cats and dogs raw meat than that other guy was doing when feeding his dog chocolate and all the other shit. The reason pets get sick when you change their food to even a different brand is cos the recycled cardboard they call pet food does jack shit for a healthy gut flora to develop.

whats your favorite food? thats crazy because that's not from nature. use your brain anon. higher concentration of nutrients = good in all animal brains. that why literally every single human like to have soda sometimes or why they love salty fries. carbs are rare in nature but when you heat up plants and denature starches they suddenly become very easy to create. the same way drugs work. higher amounts of something that is usually of low concentration

>>18395907
Stop calling it clickbait. It's hundred-year old conmon wisdom you stupid internet-entrenched zoomer.

>>18396317
It's how most of the useless and wrong information most people have these days. I'm not wrong and I will not stop calling out retarded people for falling for this shit. It isn't 100 year old common wisdom when it's wrong. Everything is toxic in enough quantity you baboon and chocolate is far from being on the dangerous side.

>>18393595
You're a retarded ESL, it's okay. Here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_rabbit
>The European rabbit lives in warrens that contain 2-10 other individuals living in smaller groups to ensure greater breeding success.[24] Territoriality and aggression contribute greatly to the rabbits' maturation process, and help ensure survival of the population.[25]

>>18396844
Theobromine is toxic to dogs you fucking faggot. Go eat a course of ground glass, it won't hurt you in small doses, it's not toxic and far from being on the dangerous side.

>>18389439
>>mice love cheese
They don't, although they'll eat it if they're hungry enough. I'm convinced this meme exists purely because of the joke of mice eating the holes in Swiss cheese.
>>18394259
Correct.

>>18394259
birds aside from pigeons/doves and the like don't love seeds, they love insects and nuts/legumes
and even pigeons prefer nuts in the fall when they start shedding feathers

Explain this

>>18394113
Cute

Cheese is a long term storage item susceptible to pests.
Bread is made of grain, which water fowl actively seek.
Peanuts are a common zoo/circus item, where people also see elephants.
Milk is a drink with high fat content, which cats love as obligate predators.
Rabbits being associated with carrots is because Bugs Bunny did a Clark Gable impression and it became his schtick.

In essence, animal preferences are defined by what people have readily available when animals are hungry, or what they saw once on TV.
And all of these are foods that each animal will opportunistically consume, which reinforces the meme

>>18398363
>bread gives birds diarrhea and gastrointestinal problems
Have you even looked at the type of shit that humans eat regularly despite how awful it is for them?
Birds eat bread because it tastes great to them, and it's not hard to reason why. They don't care if it gives them the shits afterwards.

>>18398252
No one said it is a seed
They said it was ground up seeds.
Apple pies are not apples, but a person who likes apples is probably going to like an apple pie.

only in huge amounts and if it makes up the bulk of their diet
if you eat nothing but plain white bread all day you'd have diarrhea and bowel issues too
