I took a guided tour of the London Zoo this summer. The zoologist said that they had to procure vegetables from special sources and that they couldn't give fruits to the animals at the zoo.

When asked why, she said, "When we give animals fruits that humans eat, they all develop diabetes."

That’s interesting. Apparently the reason is selective breeding to increase the sugar content of commercially produced fruit.
