All of this I am to do with just a piece of chalk, a computer, a few books, a bulletin board, a big smile AND on a starting salary that qualifies my family for food stamps! You want me to do all of this and then you tell me…I CAN’T PRAY?!!”

From time to time I get a heads up from food freaks who have posted something about our Travel Channel show, Bizarre Foods, to another site. Here is a link that Jim sent me last week from a bulletin board he contributes to regularly: forums.timezone.com

Gripped with food-poisoning spasms just before the half-hour evening show North East Tonight, broadcast from Newcastle upon Tyne, 34-year-old Toal decided at the last minute to go ahead. Watched by a mesmerized control room, anchorman Kenny Toal stuck with reading his bulletin while covertly being sick in a wastepaper bin.

So, now we know how at least one corporate CEO got his kicks. For years, he posted on financial bulletin boards, under an alias, sometimes criticizing the competition."I posted on Yahoo! under a pseudonym because I had fun doing it," Whole Foods CEO John Mackey acknowledged on his company's Web site last night.

An atheist visited Pancho's Mexican Buffet and saw that bringing in a Church Bulletin would earn him a 10% discount on his food. When he asked if atheists could get the discount, management said no.

Equine nutrition refers to the feeding of horses, ponies, mules, donkeys, and other equines. Correct and balanced nutrition is a critical component of proper horse care.Horses are herbivores, a type of non-ruminant known as a "hind-gut fermentor." What this means is that horses have only one stomach, similar to humans. However, unlike humans, they also have to digest plant fiber that comes from grass and hay. Therefore, unlike ruminants, who digest fiber in plant matter by use of a multichambered stomach, horses use bacterial fermentation that occurs in the organ known as the cecum (or caecum) to break down cellulose. In practical terms, horses prefer to eat small amounts of food steadily throughout the day, as they do in nature when grazing on pasture. Although this is not always possible with modern stabling practices and human schedules that favor feeding horses twice a day, it is important to remember the underlying biology of the animal when determining what to feed, how often, and in what quantities.The digestive system of the horse is somewhat delicate. Because horses are unable to regurgitate food, except from the esophagus, if they overeat or eat something poisonous, vomiting is not an option. They also have a long, complex large intestine and a balance of beneficial bacteria in their cecum that can be upset by rapid changes in feed. Because of these factors, they are very susceptible to colic, which is a leading cause of death in horses. Therefore, horses require clean, high-quality feed, provided at regular intervals, and may become ill if subjected to abrupt changes in their diets. Horses are also sensitive to molds and toxins. For this reason, they must never be fed contaminated fermentable materials such as lawn clippings. Fermented silage, sometimes called "haylage" is fed to horses in some places; however, contamination or failure of the fermentation process that allows any mold or spoilage may be toxic.
