Wild Parties

by Mariessa Workout of the Day on June 8th, 2009 No Comments

At a nutrition seminar at CrossFit Huntington Beach a while back, I asked a question regarding the “paleo-ness” of wine. I referred to an article on animals (birds) in the wild actively seeking overly ripe fruit fermenting in the sun.
They feed on the fermenting fruit and walk around in a drunken stupor (insert hand gestures here for those of you that were present). Quite comical if you ask me! I lost the argument at the time because “animals don’t have access to the same processes we do to ferment our wine”.

Okay, fine. Maybe they don’t utilize the same processes, but they definitely seek out alcohol. Today I found this video of animals (all types) feasting on fermenting fruit. What do you know? Their intoxicated actions rival those of the craziest fraternity parties!
