Ok, lets get a few things straight here. The natural way for an animal ( be it human or duck) to eat, is the way it's ancestors have been doing for more then just a few generations. MILK, from ANIMALS that are of a different species then us, AFTER the age that is normally decided upon for breastfeeding, is ....
wait for it. wait for it.
NATURAL.
Now you may ask, how can such a thing be natural, if after all, no other animal on the planet does that. Well, learning is unnatural then, because no other animal learns anything, other then what is required to survive. And any time they do learn anything, it's because humans have forced them to learn it, just like your trash can analogy. There for, we should stop learning anything, and stop evolving mentally. After all, it's unnatural to do so.
Tho, I suppose, if we really went along with nature the way you suggest, we'd still be in the stone age huh. Darn, oh well, next idea then.
Well, back to the whole milk thing. A strange thing happened THOUSANDS of years ago. Humans figured out that when it's to cold to grow plants, and they did not want to kill the animals they had, they figured out that they could drink the milk. Now, granted, we can only go back as far as recorded history, to show that through out our history, we've always drank milk. So it's unfortunate that we can't also go back 10's of thousands of years more, to show more milk drinking. I wonder if the beautiful and powerful thing we call nature, at one point decided
" hey you know what, they've been drinking milk and surviving much longer then they normally would have have, all because of milk. I should probably make it so it's natural for their bodies to take in milk and get nutrition from it. After all, some times the only thing people have is milk and meat, so there for I will make them have everything they need, from the things that they have available" .
I mean, yeah it's weird that all of a sudden human beings have weak bones. Some how it became unnatural for us. Some how everyone ignored all the things we've been doing to our natural habits over the past 100 years, and can't see how it's contrary to what our ancestors have been calling natural, for oh so many millenniums.
So again, lets blame the consumption of products, instead of how we consume them and the mindset we have while doing so. THAT'S the best way to live our lives.
so to sum things up.
WILD animals don't eat from our garbage, and NEVER HAVE.
Humans have been doing eating a certain way for TENS OF THOUSANDS of years.
There for, humans are soooo removed from your idea of wild animals, that your analogy needs to either be revamped, or completely eliminated from any further rational discussions between intelligent adults.
