Re: Why are parents OVERprotective?

The point is you can choose to contribute or to antagonize. You made an offer to antagonize and troll, but that didn't come with any offer of contribution to the discussion, unless attack is connsider a worthy contribution.

The reason animals in nature are not fat is because they have to work for every meal. If they could overeat they would. It isn't advantageous for them to spend time finding food when they have other things to do, but if there were plentiful supplies of food that required little work they would eat past the point of benefit to them. Nature doesn't allow such plentiful resources though. Domestication has nothing to do with their brain structures, of which they lack any regulatory mechanism to stop them from eating themselves TO DEATH. What they know is to eat, and eat, and eat... They don't have thoughts of "Gosh I'm full, I shouldn't eat so much, I'll get fat and ugly."

Wild animals don't have the same available resources. If they did, they would be an increase in the population of life in that area to compensate. therefore there is an automatic balance system in place in nature which prevents an over-abundance of food-supply.
