I don't think it should be considered "fine dining" but more required nutrition. I honestly think if the article was labeled differently, there would be more positive feedback.

Well it sounds like they eat really good. But I wouldn't want to prepare the food they have to eat.

I'm glad to see so much thought going into the zoo animals' diets. If they were in their natural habitat, they would eat a certain way & all their nutritional needs would be met, but since they're in a zoo they have to eat whatever is offered.

These zoo animals are eating better than a lot of people. I think maybe I'll go check in at the zoo to live there so I can eat like a king too.

It is fantastic that each animal is catered to with what IT needs to assure that it remains healthy! I suppose a few just nod at the guy in the next pen and say "I'll have what he's having please"........

I found and this article to be very enlightening. I really never realized the variety of food products that had to be prepared everyday. I think that many times we just assume that they eat leaves, fish, or fruits and meats, not special worms.Sounds like the zoo kitchen would make for an interesting school field trip besides just seeing the animals.

That's so cool. I would love to be a "chef" as a zoo. :) I'm sure it's very similar to feeding our own kids.

I'm so fond of this zoo. We visited it last summer while on vacation in Denver and it was amazing! We were there for over 3 hours and I would have stayed longer if my two friends weren't practically dragging me out. They put a big emphasis on the earth, with all their sprinkler water collected from rainfall and pumped through irrigation lines, every product in the cafeteria being made from recyclable products (plates, cups etc), and even their gift shop has things like tshirts made from renewable plant sources like bamboo. After my visit, it's a place I'm seriously considering seeking employment when I graduate this fall.
