Healthy HC asked:

Cows do not eat corn in their natural diet (they are supposed to eat grass). I was wondering what animals (besides locusts) eat corn in their natural diet. What animals would eat corn in the wild?

jacovkss2 asked:

I can understand that it’s an advantage to be able to live off one foodstuff exclusively, if it’s the only one that is abundantly present in your environment (like, as I understand, the panda bear’s diet consists of bamboo only).

I can also understand why it’s convenient for a carnivore to also be able to live off vegetation if the number of prey is temporarily limited.

But what is the advantage of requiring a lot of different foodstuffs to thrive, like humans do? If only one vitamin or mineral is missing, it’s detrimental to our health. Why have we evolved in a way that has made our health dependent on the weakest link in our food supply?
