Ruminants And Inedibles

When cows graze, they often swallow inedible things like metal and plastic. These undigestible things find themselves in one part of the animal's stomach's. At times excess may cause the death of these animals.

Humans With Inedibles

Humans often feed food with many inedible substances. They often feed on them unknowingly.

Metal

Metal cutlerry is used on our tables and kitchen. It so happens that as we often use these metallic objects friction wears off tiny pieces which we feed on with our food. The metallic cutlerry then wears off.

There are others we need to file in order to be sharp. The filing produces tiny particles which end up in our food. We feed on them. Whether these pieces are harmful to the body is left to the medical doctors. However, causes of many cancers that affect most people may result from such.

Plastics

Plastics are recommended for use in microwaves. Plastics often wear and tear. The tearing often finds itself in our food. Though we take them in small particles but they find themselves in the body system. We therefore eat plastics unknowingly.

Wood

Most flat bread rollers are made of wood. Meat cutting boards are made of wood too. Most berbecue joints have boards that are used to chop roasted meat. These boards often have deep dents in them. These are pieces which we have fed on.

Tomatoes, carrots and onions are chopped on boards too. The boards often get worn off through the chips we feed on.

Dust And Smoke

These things are often in the air we breathe. The throat and nostrils have hair and mucus to trap them. Yet some find their way into our bodies. Passive and active smokers get affected too. But we feed on smoke and dust.

Micro-organisms

There are also some animals that we feed on. The animals may not be good meat to feed on. Yet we feed on them through air and water. Some are too tiny to be noticed.
