Sorry, I just arrived after the xxxx was thrown around.
I wonder if they'll make a new stall at the Food & Wine Festival for these?
Wonders of Life would have stopped to that of a low level to remain alive. Buzzy will NOT have wanted this. XC
Disney is not the first to do this. I've seen "moose poops," "moose droppings," "bear scat," and all sorts of similar things.
Two words: Canada pavilion.
Truth or dare, anyone?
*Insert don't eat the yellow snow joke here*
I was going to say yeah, educational in that I wonder if kids might try to pick up a dookie and eat it, but AEfx already covered that...
Cringety cringe if Wonders capitalises on it. Nope!
Two people- One person thinks eating poop is a funny idea, another thinks the very thought of eating something related to poop is gross...
Yup you sure were right there, what a horrible person I was for being grossed out about the thought of eating poop.
And yet we neglect the idea that as disgusting as it sounds (the object, duh), it's a part of life. We trivialise it, we cringe, and we even joke around it. Of course, edibles paying tribute to what animals leave behind is probably raising eyebrows, much like you explained.
Mmmmmm..... Fecal themed chocolate treats.
Next up...... Entrail themed spaghetti bolognese.
Me? I'd rather stick to organ shaped pancakes.
Some cultures actually do eat bugs as a normal thing (and worms). So while the thought wouldn't appeal to me personally, it's not exactly the same as eating disgusting bacteria ridden animal feces. The prospect of eating a worm is infinitely more appealing to me than downing elephant dookie.
I don't know of any cultures where eating poop is normal, most rational humans consider it disgusting and wouldn't even consider it (it even seems built into our instincts that it's a gross thing to do given the disease potential).
Well said. Considering the bio diverse bacterial colonies, especially E Coli, being synonymous with that and food poisoning.
I'm looking for the part of that plaque where it discusses how funny it would be to drink that pee, can't quite find it...
And thank goodness there's no plaque!
The irony is that eating the "Guess the Animal" desserts actually opens up an easy window for a parent to talk to their children about not eating poop. If anything, it would be less likely for a child to eat real feces if their parent says "this is fake and just for fun; eating real poop is dangerous and can make you sick".
Right again. But this isn't about style over substance, however...
Also, in a park that emphasizes nature and conservation and such, I think it's great to actually y'know talk about natural things like excrement. I think this is actually the opposite of simple crass humor -- it's taking something that people tend to ignore or feel squeamish about and treating it with some modicum of respect. One of the articles I read talked about how the food people worked with zoologists to get the right look and texture.
Maybe people need to go get a copy of "Everyone Poops". Defecation is a normal bodily function, we shouldn't be ashamed of it.
...this above actually sums it up. Well said, Nick.
There are more, but that's all my five cents I have each post.
