Today's word of the day (via wordsmith.org )
I especially like the quote
polyphagia (pol-ee-FAY-jee-uh) noun
1. Excessive appetite or eating.
2. The habit of feeding on many kinds of food.
[From Modern Latin, from Greek polyphagia, from polyphagos,
from poly- (much, many) + phagy (eating).]
"Various diseases, drugs and even stress can cause polyphagia.
Your first step should be to have Buster examined by your
veterinarian and have the caloric intake calculated."
