Why is that unfair - ever eaten bamboo?
Try bamboo, I guarantee you will lose weight
metabolism is different
That's the thing about being an herbivore that eats a plant that is mostly undigestible.

You know what bamboo is like, pretty hard, and it's actually very woody. There is no animal on earth that can actually digest wood. True, there are things like termites, but even they have special bacteria in their gut that help them break down the wood (actually this bacteria lives inside another animal which lives inside the termite, another long story).

Anyway, pandas need to eat A LOT of bamboo in order to get the same nutrition you would get in a slice of pizza. To put it more simply, there isn't a lot of calories that a panda can get out of one lousey stick of bamboo and so, to compensate, it must eat a whole lot in order to sustain its metabolism and go on living.
