Strange question about ducklings hatching

No, it was in the US. They were showing how the birds used to make the traditional pekin duck are raised and processed.

Wasn't the abandoned grocery store in Texas gross? To have to wear bio-hazard suits to clean out a grocery store, oh my goodness!

It was absolutely disgusting. What the bad thing is is how much of that could have been donated to a food pantry instead of laying there to rot and go bad - at least the dry goods and whatnot....I'm sure they had to throw everything away after 3 months. The milk was exploded and the meat was rotten. They didn't show any eggs but I bed some of them were exploded and rotten too.....turned my stomach just to think about it. And they were talking about how thick the flies were in there....

ick, ick, ick!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband and I went through Hurricane Andrew in '92 down in Homestead and about a week after that's all you could smell was stuff rotting. There were dead cows and horses floating in the canals. It was REALLY gross....

That whole segment upset me.

That guy pretty much ripped the shell off while tugging on the duckling.
When he started, I grabbed my husbands hand and held my breath hoping that the duckling didn't start bleeding.
I wonder how many times they rehearsed that with bleeding ducklings dying before they got a good shot for the show.

Thanks Wife. The poor thing just looked so weak and helpless, it bothered me.

BTW, on another program about food - Life After People (and what would happen to the grocery stores) they revealed which food on the grocery store shelves would still be around thousands of years from now.
Can you guess which one it was?


I'm sure you can. You're so smart thataway.

Fruit Cake... there only two things that will survive a nuclear war: cockroaches and fruitcake or maybe twinkies too

Yep, it was honey. On the program they said that jars of honey have been found in egyptian tombs and it was still good.

Since it's a new show, maybe we could write and complain?
When my DD was young, we were watching the news one night when they showed a horse that had broken both front legs in a race. OMG! I'll never get the image of that horse walking around on those broken limbs out of my mind. My DD started crying.
The director of that news program wasn't happy with me that night. I ripped him a new....ear.

Tricia, my sister was living in Homestead at the time of Hurricane Andrew. I had moved away from there during the summer of '89. I did visit shortly after the hurricane, so I know how horrible it was.
