Water fowl enjoy a mixed birdseed. While not a complete diet, it is far better than junk food. Bread would not hurt if one person was feeding it, but multiply that by everyone who comes into a park for example. Just goes to show you that bread is not a good food for us either. Basically empty calories.

Recovering from Religion
Unless you were raised by atheist parents, you probably had some recovering to do when you left religion. The purpose of RR is to provide a landing place for people when they jump from religion. With local support groups throughout the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, and real-time resources accessible to everyone, RR is where to turn when faith has lost its luster.See More
