What is that big, hot, round, yellow thing that flies through the sky from morning to night?

So you have overweight, menopausal ducks in England, too. Probably the result of people feeding them too much buttered popcorn. Did you know that contributing to the obesity of waterfowl is a crime in most countries? Well, you can pass a law against excessive feeding of pigeons and ducks, but that doesn’t give people with nothing better to do a reason to change their behavior. Many of them need a reason to simply go on living. But getting back to the ducks, menopause often results in hot flashes, and a faulty diet can make these chronic. So much depends on proper nutrition.
