Well, there was:



I see then it just must be a coincedence that 99.9% of the species fit in or have a nitch here and we don't. From


from

post by itsthetooth
And




Is there some type of theory to fill this giant gap on what we are suppose to eat? Or do we just become scavangers? I doubt it because 99.99% of the things here on earth have a suited diet


And



What are we suppose to eat? Keep in mind that humans are part of the .009% that don't fit in with diet.

And also,



Now with 99.99% or possibly 99.999% this life fits into what is obviously known as a balanced eco system. Humans do not appear to be eco friendly to this planet.

Well from what I read it appeard to be more either unprocessed or undigested food.

Elephants do not eat their own feces and it is mainly undigested. Are you now claiming elephants don't poop?


They never say fecal pellet, and this is not proof that its part of his intended diet. It should be no shocker as he is not in his Target Food to begin with.

Actually, my links did. And we have only been able to get a definition of diet after a long effort. TF is still only an unsubstantiated opinion.


I never denied that it occured, all I'm saying is that there is no proof that it's a correct path.

False.


I think you missed the point, all I'm saying is that he isn't suppose to.

Opinion of no value.


First of all it doesn't appear to be feces as its undigested food, secondly its not proof that he is suppose to be eating it.
The part that your not understanding is that depending on how far from Target Food the rabbit is, will make a difference on the pressure thats placed on him to eat undigested poop.

It's poop. It's been through the digestive system.
Rabbits eat their own poop. They start at an early age. The idea that they are supposed to eat it is something you dreamed up and is an unsubstantiated opinion. TF at this point is just your vague opinion.

But there is no proof they are suppose to be eating poo, your just assuming.

Many animals only eat poop. Many animals eat poop and other things as well.

This claim of yours that animals are supposed to eat particular things is just a fantasy of yours at this point.

This notion that things are directed is just as false here as when you claim evolution is directed.

I have no idea what you mean by intended food at this time. Still trying to get you to define what you mean by diet.

Rabbits and many, many creatures eat poop as a food source.
If you don't know what the term diet means, you are seriously in the wrong phase of the debate.




Now that you claim that eating a non-habitual food is not experimentation, what do you call it? You say it is not part of the diet.
You seriously have a problem with your definitions.

As you can see, experimentation is more about testing, and habitual is more about habbit.

There is never anything listed in diets about animals testing food.




OK then let me repeat your definition for diet "A diet is any number of foods that a species habitually consumes."

Here are a few things to think about in your definition of diet.
So for a rabbit feces are a part of its diet.
Sure but based on the findings, its clear that he may not suppose to be eating it. It appears that he is only making use of the undigested food, it doesn't mean its normal.




Coastal brown bears eat salmon. That is a part of their diet. An inland brown bear eats almost no salmon. Thus brown bears do not all share the same diet.
Thats right because the diet isn't available in that area. You can't put parakeets in a cage and feed them seed and expect them to eat cow.




Deer eat dirt to obtain minerals. Dirt is part of a deer's diet.
I have never seen anything about that.




Caterpillars eat leafy material, but butterflies drink nectar. Are both part of their diets or neither is part of their diet?
Obviously his diet changes when he changes species.




Female mosquitoes consume blood, but male mosquitoes do not. Is blood part of a mosquitoes diet?
They both eat nectar, plant sap and honeydew.

Obviously only the females drink blood to help with protien.
In this case they have to be seperated as they do not share the blood diet.

This was based on the fact that animals seem to have their needs with diet figured out, whlie we don't.

Balance is forcing out species that don't fit in, while humans are the most dangerous.

How do you always, without fail, when you finally read something you manage to misunderstand what was written every time?

Rabbits reingest their own droppings (rather than chewing the cud as do cows and many other herbivores) to digest their food further and extract sufficient nutrients.[16]



They never say fecal pellet, and this is not proof that its part of his intended diet.
Coprophagia

Soft fecal pellets of partially digested food are excreted and generally consumed immediately.
So you are wrong again


It should be no shocker as he is not in his Target Food to begin with.
There is no such thing as target food. Your golden rule says so.

The 'correct path'? You 'never denied it occurred'?



I think you missed the point, all I'm saying is that he isn't suppose to.
Show evidence to support your fantasy because that is how the gut of the rabbit works. That is why it passes two types of fecal pellets. Why do you think it does that? Can you do that?

If you don't know what the term diet means, you are seriously in the wrong phase of the debate.

The problem is that you use terms in a manner completely different from everyone else. That is why I need to determine what you mean by diet.


You seriously have a problem with your definitions.

No, it's you. Everyone in this thread knows what the word evolution means in science. Every post you show that you do not.

I suspect that the same is true of the way you use the terms diet, habitually, experimentation, etc. You're already showing that you want to change the meaning of feces for some unknown reason. You want to use your own personal definition.

Her you choose the meaning of habitual. You gave two different definitions. They are not the same, right?

1.Done as a habit.
2.Regular; usual: "his habitual dress".



From this would you say that brown bears have fish as part of their diet even though most brown bears rarely eat fish? The coastal brown bears only eat fish during runs, which is a short part of the year. It makes for nice photos and drama, but is this a part of their diet? You might use definition 1 for yes and definition 2 for no.

You provide a number of definitions for experimentation. Notice there are multiple different definitions of experimentation in your list. According to almost everything posted it is clear that most animals experiment with food according to the provided definitions.


As you can see, experimentation is more about testing, and habitual is more about habbit.
There is never anything listed in diets about animals testing food.

See here is your problem. Your definition of diet considers only habitual foods. All other foods are not part of the diet of the animals. That is according to your definition. Thus any feeding of none dietary foods is possibly experimentation.

Your claim that "never anything listed in diets about animals testing food" is really just your opinion or based on your limited research. This just suggests that because you did not find something it does not exist. That's a logical fallacy.


Sure but based on the findings, its clear that he may not suppose to be eating it. It appears that he is only making use of the undigested food, it doesn't mean its normal.

All of my links stated it was normal. Not sure why you are squirming so much. It appears that you want to project your personal likes onto situations. Rabbits begin to eat their own poop in the first few weeks of life and continue till they die. That makes poop part of their diet according to your definition.


Thats right because the diet isn't available in that area. You can't put parakeets in a cage and feed them seed and expect them to eat cow.

Your cage thing is not applicable since the same bear can travel to areas with and without fish.

All I want to be clear on is that it is normal for individuals in a species to have different diets. There is no diet for a species. Diet applies to individuals, not species.


I have never seen anything about that.

Then take the time to learn about deer and eating dirt. All deer members do it as well as many other animals. So now we know that inorganics such as dirt can be part of a diet.


Obviously his diet changes when he changes species.

The caterpillar and the butterfly are the same species. They do not change species.


They both eat nectar, plant sap and honeydew.

Obviously only the females drink blood to help with protien.
In this case they have to be seperated as they do not share the blood diet.

Just as not all brown bears share the same diet due to geographic issues, some species do not the share the same diet due to gender issues.

Do not forget about butterflies that have diets dependent on life cycle stages.

This idea of "suppose to" is something wacky only you mention. It does not exist. The fact is that rabbits each their own poop. I don't need to or are interested in proving that anything is supposed to eat this or that. It's your wacky idea you prove it. The onus is on you to prove these wacky ideas.

Where have you been Id?

We have moved on from there. Tooth now says nothing is from here. So all those pages where he claimed man was not natural as he was not from here it appears nothing is from here and nothing is natural so the link to his post is 'redundant'. This is a brand new version of tooth's folly

But of course when he changed this (what use to be a fact) the rest of his mumbo jumbo fell apart. Now when you apply tooth’s golden rule to tooth's claims target food fails every time.

He now cannot claim only man gets illness because he does not have target food and cannot live past puberty without medical intervention as ALL organic life here does not have target food but cannot answer how they live past puberty.

So tooth lied and misled for over a year when he knew the bible said nothing was from here except maybe bacteria.

Well that's what he says now and as things are not going well for him is is trying to move his goalposts again

So in other words all things that happen are natural. your wrong.

But I thought your ability to identify animals that weren't from this planet (i.e. us) was based on how well an animal fits into its environment.

Further, in identifying an animal as natural to its environment (i.e. this planet) one of the key factors in that identification was its utilization of what you call target food or intended diet.

You have also claimed (contradictorily) that the majority of animals fit in here and have there diets sorted, and that they don't! In order to protect your delusion, you assert that animals that fit here, had their habitats brought here with them.

Over a period of 4 months, you have invented a concept that you are unable to define, that of target food.

You have shown that you still don't understand that words have to be used in context in order for the meaning of the word to be clear, and a willful misconstruing of the questions that people ask of you.

It is clear to any observer of this thread, that for every dictionary definition you provide, the actual question being asked is not, "what does xxxxx mean". The question is always, ALWAYS, what do YOU mean when YOU use the word xxxxx.

Having read back over your previous post relating to target, (i seriously need to get another hobby) I have a conclusion. In part I think I understand what you mean, and I sort've agree with you on a few points.

If we were created by an intelligence, it would stand to reason that such an intelligence would also provide for our nutritional needs. To use your analogy, we created the car, and provided a single fuel for it. (refined petroleum i think covers diesil, gas, petrol etc)

I get it.

If each animal on the planet, for its nutritional needs, simply walked over to the feeding station, ate until it was sated, and got on with its business, this would indicate some sort've intelligence involved.

The problem you have, is that no animal on this planet exhibits the traits you require in order for target food to be a viable hypothesis. Untill you demonstrate this, using the scientific method, you will be nothing more than another crackpot posting on internet forums.

As far as the abalone is concerned, the statement that all it eats is Kelp, is pretty much grasping at straws, as there are over 40 varieties of Kelp. Kelp is simply the term we use meaning sea grasses.

As a guide to experimentation, I would suggest that in orde to prove target food, first, identify an animal that you believe matches the criteria. (actual, first, define the criteria and stick with it, reading past post, the criteria for target food changes depending on the argument placed against it)

Second, remove the target food and try other food sources. Some may be successful, and others not so.

Third, Isolate the components within the various food sources that were successful.

Fourth, group all of the components that the animal requires into a single "mush"

Fifth, type the word jelly at the start of your post to prove you read all of this.

Finally, identify a single source that provides all of the requirements of step 3, and is available naturaly (your definition). This is your target food!

Publish your results and become rich.

Now!, you will probably need to do this with many species, and spend quite some time on the experiment. So, if you start now, I guess we'll see you at some point in 2014.

Good luck.

Here is another animal that owes its life to poop The Blue Bottle

A female blue bottle fly lays her eggs where she feeds, usually in decaying meat, garbage, or feces.

No, it's you. Everyone in this thread knows what the word evolution means in science. Every post you show that you do not.

It's a seasonal food that he is resorting to because he is out of target food.

Rabbits begin to eat their own poop in the first few weeks of life and continue till they die. That makes poop part of their diet according to your definition.
I don't mean normal in that way, I mean its not natural from the Target Food perspective.




Your cage thing is not applicable since the same bear can travel to areas with and without fish.
That may not be possible for them, maybe they have family to tend to or maybe they are pregnant.




All I want to be clear on is that it is normal for individuals in a species to have different diets. There is no diet for a species. Diet applies to individuals, not species.
Have you lost your marbles? Anyone that has read any number of diets can see thats not the case.




Then take the time to learn about deer and eating dirt. All deer members do it as well as many other animals. So now we know that inorganics such as dirt can be part of a diet.
I guess its possible, but I would question the eating dirt part, its not normal and is a sign of hunger.




Obviously his diet changes when he changes species.

The caterpillar and the butterfly are the same species. They do not change species.
fine, subspecies.




Just as not all brown bears share the same diet due to geographic issues, some species do not the share the same diet due to gender issues.

Do not forget about butterflies that have diets dependent on life cycle stages.
It doesn't matter what the demographics are, we still know thier diet, and if we know their diet, there is no way they are experimenting, especially since the always seem to omit that interesting tale.

Because that is not how his digestive system has evolved

Answer the question. Why does the rabbit produce two different types of fecal pellet? can a cow produce two types of fecal pellet? Can you produce two types of fecal pellet?

Now you explain why a rabbit can and cows and humans cannot
