Carole would love to hear about the sunflower seeds.  I would imagine that the pig's coats will shine.  (We used to give the horses oil to make their coats shine).  Its interesting how the price of feed has encouraged a diversity of foodstuffs.  I read an article that in UK they are even "considering" reintroducing the use of pig swill. 

I feel that properly used it is a useful food, which will also help to reduce the amount of landfill.  I'd be interested in anyone else's views.  (Hope that doesnt sound pretentious).
