Healthy vegetarian food ... for a polar bear?

Vegetarian food, in general, is very healthy and I urge readers to consider eating vegetarian food more. It's green, healthy and humane.

But if you're a Polar Bear I'm not sure going vegetarian works as well (perhaps readers can guide me on this?).

Anyway, Flocke's playmate Rasi has gotten a bit tubby and the keepers have put him on a vegetarian diet for now. Apparently it is helping him to lose weight but he's not too keen on it ... .

    Poor Razi. Humans may be omnivores, but bears are carnivores and crave meat. Perhaps it would be better to increase exercise and play opportunities. My cat couldn't adjust to a dry cat food diet, and now gets a treat of meat based catfood daily.
