    I hope that the waste of the gloves is only because they are filming her, she could be more efficient and with a pair of gloves could have done everything

    I just started watch Panda so My views might not be accurate, but I think She might be changing gloves often to prevent Cross contamination of the foods, So if there was any bacteria is on the food she prepared for first bear, by changing gloves it is not past to 2nd bears food, then she changed again for 3 rd bear for the same reason, not not to pass on any contamination, if any bear got ill it was not passed on from the food preparation process or from keeper. Yes it does seem wasteful, but it is a well worth while precaution, it might not have appeared wasteful, if she did 1 panda food prep, throw out gloves , then left room and return to room then prepared another set of food with new gloves .

    @@acs5008 as a prep cook, we do the same thing. We constantly changing gloves. We might use 70+ pairs in an 8hrs shift. The way we can reduce it is by organizing/planning in advance. Do prep for 1 bear at a time. And have everything needed ready to mix. That is one way to lessen waste.

    you guys really need a autofocus setup. I know you zoom in to check focus (this only works for parfocal lens), but that makes it feels like it was produced by Mr. Beans with his Camcorder.

    Overweight is not good for panda's health.
