GreatDanz,
I agree totally! Here's a funny correlation study I was sent in an email. Sadly I don't know who to credit it to, but it does make you think about Correlation Studies!

Fun correlations with Bread
• More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.
• Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.
• More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.
• Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to drink begged for bread after as little as two days.
• In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many
women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged
whole nations.
• Bread is made from a substance called ‘dough’. It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more than that in one month!
• primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer’s,Parkinson’s disease, and osteoporosis.
• Bread is often a ‘gateway’ food item, leading the user to ‘harder’ items such as butter, jelly,peanut butter, and even cold cuts.
• Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water,
it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.
• New born babies can choke on bread.
• Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

Funniness aside, I do feed Tenchi from a raised platform. Otherwise he looks like a giraffe drinking. He has too many joint/leg issues as it is, so I'm not making it worse for him. I know that wild dogs don't eat from raised feeders, but then again how many wild dogs are there that are 39" at the withers?
