Hi, there.

It says here,

"Goats love to eat clothing."

I hope what I wore today

Is in good taste.

"Goats eat
airline tickets,

"Money,
almost anything.

Please watch your valuables
when in the paddock."

I've always wondered
if it was true

That goats eat anything.

I came to
the san diego zoo

To find out
what they like to munch.

Come on! Let's go see
who's kidding whom.

I guess
those signs are right.

They nibble on
just about anything.

Here's something you can
really sink your teeth into.

It's a book called
gregory the terrible eater.

It's about a kid,

A baby goat,

Who's a picky eater.

Hey! This is
a library book.

Here's the story
of gregory.

Who said you could
eat these words?

Gregory the terrible eater,
by mitchell sharmat,

Illustrated by jose aruego
and ariane dewey.

Once there was a goat
named gregory.

Gregory liked to jump
from rock to rock,

Kick his legs
into the air,

And butt his head
against walls.

"I'm an average goat,"
said gregory.

But gregory was not
an average goat.

Gregory was
a terrible eater.

Every time he ate
with his mother and father,

He knew he was
in for trouble.

"Would you like a tin can,
gregory?" Asked mother goat.

"No, thanks," said gregory.

"Well, how about
a nice box,

A piece of rug,
and a bottle cap?"

Asked father goat.

"Bah!" Said gregory unhappily.

"I don't know why

You're such
a fussy eater, gregory."

"I'm not fussy," said gregory.

"I just want
fruits, vegetables,

"Eggs, fish,
bread and butter,

Good stuff like that."

"It's revolting,"
said father goat.

"Gregory is such
a terrible eater."

"I wonder what's
wrong with him."

Mother and father goat

Ate their evening newspaper
in silence.

The next morning,
mother and father goat

Were enjoying
a coat for breakfast.

Gregory came to the table.

"Good morning," said gregory.

"May I have some orange juice,
cereal, and bananas

For breakfast, please?"

Father goat
threw down his napkin.

"That does it," he said.

"Gregory just
isn't eating right.

We must take him
to the doctor."

Father and mother goat
took gregory to the doctor.

Dr. Ram was munching on
a few pieces of cardboard.

"What seems to be
the trouble?" He asked.

"Gregory is a terrible eater,"
said mother goat.

"We've offered him the best,

"But all he wants are
fruits and vegetables

And other horrible things."

"What do you have to say
about this, gregory?"

Asked dr. Ram.

"I want what I like,"
said gregory.

"Mmm, makes sense,"
said dr. Ram.

He turned to
mother and father goat.

"I've treated
picky eaters before," he said.

"They have to develop a taste
for good food slowly.

"Try giving gregory
one new food each day

Until he eats everything."

That night for dinner,

Mother goat gave gregory

Spaghetti and a shoelace
in tomato sauce.

"Not too bad," said gregory.

The next day,
she gave him

String beans
and a cut-up rubber heel.

"Mmm-mmm! The meal was good
and rubbery," said gregory.

The day after that,
mother goat said,

"We have your favorite today,
vegetable soup.

"But there is one condition.

You also have to eat the can."

"Ok," said gregory.

"What's for dessert?"

"Ice cream," said father goat.

"But you have to eat
the box, too."

"Yummy."

One evening,
father goat asked,

"Has anyone seen
my striped necktie?"

"Not since breakfast,"
said mother goat.

"Come to think of it,

"I haven't seen
my sewing basket.

I left it
in the living room yesterday."

Father goat turned to gregory.

"Gregory, have you been
eating between meals?"

"Yes. I can't help it.

Now I like everything."

"Well," said mother goat,

"It's all right
to eat like a goat,

But you shouldn't
eat like a pig."

After gregory went to bed,
mother goat said,

"I'm afraid gregory will eat
my clothes hamper."

"Yes, and then my tool kit
will be next.

"He's eating too much.

We'll have to do
something about it."

The next evening,
just before supper,

Mother and father goat
went to the dump.

They brought home
eight flat tires,

A three-foot piece
of barber pole,

A broken violin,
and half a car.

They piled everything
in front of gregory's sandbox.

When gregory came home
for supper, he said,

"What's all that stuff
in the yard?"

"Your supper,"
said father goat.

"It all looks good."

Gregory ate the tires

And the violin.

Then he slowly ate
the barber pole,

But when he started in
on the car, he said,

"Ooh, ooh, I've got
a stomachache.

I have to lie down."

Gregory went to his room.

"I think gregory
ate too much junk,"

Said father goat.

"Let's hope so."

All night, gregory
tossed and twisted

And moaned and groaned.

The next morning,
he went down for breakfast.

"What would you like
for breakfast, gregory?"

Asked father goat.

"Scrambled eggs
and two pieces of wax paper

And a glass of orange juice,"
said gregory.

"That sounds just about right,"
said mother goat.

And it was.

Gregory knew
what he liked.

I guess you could say
it's all a matter of taste.

What you may like,

Someone else
might think is awful.

What you think is awful--

It's something
to think about
whenever ordering lunch.

Excuse me.
What's good here?

Everything is good.

I'm in the wrong
restaurant.

You're in
billy and nanny's
barnyard cafe.

What are you
going to have?

What do you
recommend?

Let's see.
You're watching
your weight?

Ok. How about
a nice cellophane salad?

Or if you're
real hungry,

I can get you
a slice of bath mat.

Then there's
the blue plate special.

What's that?

A blue plate.

I'm not really
into the new foods.

Can't I just get
some home cooking?

Oh, home cooking!
Why, sure.

Maybe a shingle sandwich

Or a buttered brick

With a side order
of aluminum siding.

It sounds real
appetizing, but--

Hi ya, folks.

Go ahead.
Just sit anywhere.

I got tables
to wait on.

I'll be right back.

What are
you folks having?

Well, let's see.

I guess I'll have
a rubber glove
fried lightly

And a crumpled
magazine cover

And a side order
of nuts and bolts.

Darling,

Remember what
the veterinarian said.

Come on.

We're on vacation!

Naa!

All right.

Just get me
a plain rubber glove.

I'll have the same.

Hey, nanny,
two number 12s.

And what about
the little guy?

Do you have
a kids' menu?

Somebody ate the last one
this morning.

Bring him
the same.

Make it three number 12s,
nanny.

Make sure
his glove is
well-done.

Put a burn on
one of them, nanny.

Billy, I only got
four hooves!

And to drink?

Ah!

Ink.
Ink.

Good.
Be right up.

What are you
going to have?

I don't know.

How about
a chicken salad
sandwich?

Hey, nanny,
one chicken wire sandwich.

You want that on
cardboard or whole wood?

Not chicken wire.

Have you got
a cheeseburger here?

Nix the chicken wire

And set up a jeansburger.

You want them jeans
denim or corduroy?

Not jeansburger,
cheeseburger!

Can I just get
a glass of water?

Sure. Just what
kind of place--

Hey, billy!
Check, please.

Let's see.

You had the plaster chips,
light bulbs...

There you go

Mmm.

Look ok?

Yeah.
Looks fine.

Mmm.

Now, what about you?

Actually I'm not
very hungry.

Can I just have
a napkin?

Sure.
Coming right up.

I'm glad you finally found
something that you like.

It's fun to imagine
billy and nanny's cafe,

But I ill wonder,

Is there anything
that goats won't eat?

We can find out
right here

In the kitchens
of the san diego zoo.

Every day
they handle enough food

To feed 3,200 animals.

Let's see if a zookeeper

Can tell us
what these goats eat.

It's not true
that goats will eat anything.

They're just curious.

The goats
here at the san diego zoo

Are on a special
high-fiber diet.

They get two types
of tree branches,

Eugenia and acacia.

They nibble the leaves
and the bark.

They also get horse pellets

Made of alfalfa,
grains, and vitamins.

We're very careful
about all the animals' diets.

It's lunch time now.

Let's look at the menu.

Our two otters,
osborn and osgood,

Have dry kd
and canned kd,

And they also get an egg
as a treat.

Osborn and osgood
are small clawed asian otters.

They're brothers
out of a litter of six,

And they're very attacheh o.

They're hard to handle

If you take one
away from the other.

Osborn has a tendency
to be a pig

And take what he can get.

Suki is our
hairy saki monkey.

She's from south america.

Most of suki's food
is peeled.

She only has
a few teeth left,

So we fix her a soft diet.

We also cook
yams and carrots for her.

She likes to pick out things
that are favorite first,

The bananas, the sweet potato,
and the sunflower seeds.

She likes to dump her pan over

To see if there's
anything good underneath.

The kinkajou's name is chewy.

He has a very long tongue.

He loves his bananas.

That's the first thing he eats
when he's fed.

When he finishes his bananas,
he goes back to sleep.

Later, he wakes up
and finishes his supper.

For our red pandas,
stuart and stella,

We make a special gruel.

It consists of baby applesauce,
water, canned cow's milk,

And rice cereal with bananas,

Things your baby brother
or sister might eat.

This is stuart.

He's a real chow hound,
so he's down eating.

Stella's more shy.

Stuart usually gets his lunch
all over his face.

It's important
for animals here

To have a well-balanced,
nutritional meal.

That's what we do
here in the kitchen,

And they love it.

I'm giving this guy
his favorite treat,

Hibiscus blossoms.

He usually gets
an ordinary diet

Of cut grass, lettuce,
cabbage, apples,

Banana-tree st*lks,
and leaves.

But because
he'll be on television,

His keeper said I could
give him something special.

Although eating flowers
might seem strange to you,

This tortoise might think

Burgers and fries
is an unusual lunch.

What's the weirdest thing
you can think of to eat?

Stale raisin bran on pizza
with green slime.

A salad
made of bees and flies.

Chocolate-covered
mushrooms.

Pizza covered with pepperoni,
liver, snails, and peas.

Cow brains, scrambled eggs,
and hot sauce on the top.

Cake with raw rice
mixed in with the frosting.

Onion candy.

Pizza made out of
raw pig and...

Raw pig...

And goat cheese.

The elephant's favorite treat
is a regular apple,

Which they get
only on special occasions.

Normally, they eat pellets

Made of alfalfa,
grains, and vitamins.

Every year, they eat


Along with vegetables.

It takes a lot of work

To prepare meals
for these animals,

Almost as much
as it takes chefs

To prepare a meal
for humans.

Let's watch an unusual
group of chefs learn to cook

At new york city's
hotel intercontinental.

Paella is made of duck,

Chicken,

Rabbit, pork,

Lobster,

Mussels,

Clams,

Artichokes,

String beans,

Rice,

Tomato.

It's got many things.

I'm chef daniel,
and that's chef alex.

Today, we'll start
with paella.

Do you know where
paella comes from?

It's coming
from spain.

We're going to
start now.

Lateef,
give me the duck.

Now we all
take our bowl

And go to the kitchen.

Everybody come with me.

We'll take a big pot
and cook it very quick.

That means saute.

[Sizzle]

Listen.
Do you hear that?

It's roasting.

Wow!

Do you see
how we're roasting?

We're going to saute
for two minutes, ok?

So look.

Listen.

Smell good?

Listen to that noise.

It's going to be perfect!

The rabbit,
the duck, the pork.

We're going to saute
for two minutes.

We're going to put
a little saffron.

Do you know
what saffron is?

It's coming from
beautiful flowers.

It smells like flowers.

We're going to put
a touch of it.

Ok, now it's boiling.

See those
beautiful bubbles?

Now, let's go and finish.

We put some rice inside,

Then we stick it
in the oven.

Look at that now.

Look at what we have.

Can you smell it?

After the beautiful dish
we create together,

Now we stick it
in the oven.

Look at that.

Wow! Mmm!

Look at that.

Wow!

The best part of cooking
is eating.

That's our paella.

That's our chocolate mousse.

Bon appetit!

That means
enjoy your creation.

Still feeding time at the zoo.

The most important species
is yet to be fed.

I love eating a la cart.

I wonder if the person
who made this

Went to chef school.

He combined
the right ingredients,

One hamburger, one bun,

Mustard, mayonnaise,
no ketchup.

Too much ketchup
can make you turn pink.

You didn't know that?

Don't take my word for it.

Do you know why
piglets are pink?

I do because
I just read a book

Called mrs. Pig's bulk buy.

It's about 10 pigs
and their love of ketchup.

I liked the pictures
in the book

Because they're funny.

I like william pig

Because he's always
looking in the pots

When his mother
is cooking.

I recommend this book
to my friends.

Most of my friends like animals,
especially pigs.

I'm andrew bezance.

I'm here to tell you
about this new cookbook

Made especially for you kids.

It's called
the new junior cook book

By better homes & gardens.

The recipes
are real easy to make,

And they're
delicious to eat.

I made some
of the recipes myself.

I'll tell you
about my favorite one.

My favorite recipe
was the mouse salad.

I made it by using
pears for the body,

Cloves for the eyes,

And a carrot curl
for the tail.

Go to your nearest library

And get this book
by better homes & gardens.

Kids, have you had
your dinner yet?

After I tell you
about this book,

You'll feel very hungry.

This book is called
poem stew.

The poems are selected
by william cole.

This book has funny poems,

Mostly about
tasty things to eat,

Such as pizza, cake,
potato chips,

Cucumbers, and cocoa.

If you don't believe
poem stew is a good book,

Here's my favorite poem,
"arbuckle jones."

"Arbuckle jones
when flustered

"Eats custard
with mustard.

I'm disgustered."

I'm here
at the zoo's nursery

Where they keep
newborn baby animals.

This is a 6-week-old porcupine
named porter.

The people here at the nursery

Make sure he gets
the right foods.

Young animals must get food
that's right for their bodies.

It's the same thing
with a pet

Or a little brother
or sister.

They need a healthy diet.

Watch out for
terrible eaters.

You're not a terrible eater,
are you, porter?

No.

Say, "see you next time."

See you next time.
