This is a question that has arose on many, many occasions. Again I found myself over on another message forum (name of it withheld because it has become somewhat of a joke in the bigfoot community) that stated "giving the bigfoot horse feed, and oates with molasses". Geez! What philosophy. Are trying to give the poor animal the "shits?" In that same paragraph this individual recommended raw beef or pork livers (so much for reducing any parasite and microbial infections). I suppose these are viable sources of proteins that work well in one area (if cooked) but again we have a situation with "what works well in some areas....may not work well in others!"
It is the reponsibility of the individual researcher to perform trial and error with different food sources when trying to attract bigfoot-type creatures. I however would not recommend whole grains(at least not in their purest forms such as farm animal feeds). We are talking about a creature that may be closer to us physiologically than any other known animal. With that being said, what types of gastro-intestinal problems would arise if one of us were to consume large quantities of raw grain? Even molasses after about two teaspoons would cause severe diarrhea with any warm-blooded animal. So WHY do you suppose this individual would recommend such an "insulting" diet regimen for these beings? The answer is simple; they've never tried it.
So, that leads us back to the question. What will bigfoot eat? Don't insult the creature with a laxative first of all. Go into your research area and look around. Look up, look down and in trees and bushes. Find natural "eatables". Well what are eatables you ask? Start by analyzing food sources that you yourself could eat. Natural foodstuffs such as fish are abundant in most creeks throughout the world. You might then want to locate mushrooms, various wild berries, certain types of flowers, water plants, different bugs, yams or whatever. The list is too extensive. Offer these types of food for your experiment. It will however require the researcher to educate himself/herself on wild things that grow in their research areas.
To accomplish this, the researcher will almost certainly have to put down the two-litre Cokes, leave the armchair, keyboard and television behind and travel out to do ACTUAL research. If you can't go out by yourself, find a partner. There really is no excuse is there?
