Hi Peter, I would like to read the birdfood piece, would you be so kind as to post it again. Thanks, Shell. Andy & Shell I could have said l lot more but the essential points are here. Peter Aymee, Basically grain is bird food along with all cereals. It is very rich in energy and birds have a digestive system to process it. Grain allows them to flap around, lift off the ground and fly for miles. They have a completely different digestive system. First they have a gizzard which helps them grind the grain. Then they peck at and eat grit to help the grinding process. Sometimes they store the grain in their crops to soak it so that it goes soft and is easier to digest. Beyond that we know that food passes fast though a bird sometimes allowing them to eat more than a fraction of their weight in a day and finally their excrement comes out white. In fact their gut is so truncated that they throw out urine and feces together all before the trouble starts. When humans take on this bird food, they usually mill it for a start. Still it is not ready so they normally mix it with water and other ingredients and allow it to ferment before they bake it or some such. Even then it appeals to almost none so they put butter or bolognaise sauce or hamburgers or anything to help it down. The problem is not over because the digestive tract of human being was not honed on grain. Dr. Douglas Graham gives some details in his " Grain Drain " . Here, we may observe that the body makes a start on digesting the processed grain and frequently cannot finish the job. The upshot is that having failed it just dumps the residue in fat cells and leads to obesity, a running nose, dirty skin, a whole lot of nervous energy... Grain is bird food and when people tell me that I eat bird food, I sometimes give them the gist of this message with a note that I certainly do not eat bird food but that they, by contrast, do... they then flap about.
