The phrase "eating like a bird” is often used to express that someone only eats a small amount of food. Explain in detail why this saying is inaccurate.

Answer :

Answer:

The phrase "eating like a bird” is inaccurate because the eating habits of birds and the amount of food they consume are a function of their size, activity and metabolism, amount of food that would be insufficient for one person.

Explanation:

The phrase "eating like a bird" establishes a comparison between the feeding of a bird and that of a person, referring to the small amount of food that birds consume.

In fact, birds consume food according to the high energy demand of flying, its weight, size, activity and metabolism. A real comparison would establish that birds even eat more than people.

The feeding of each species is different, and the phrase is inaccurate because it only states that a person who eats little food (less than their requirements) is consuming what would really be enough for a bird.
