I know that if I, a mammal, were to eat as much as I could as often as I 
could, I'd weigh a ton. I certainly don't need that much food to keep 
activated--just a couple of pounds a day, if that much, is fine. I have the 
feeling that the food requirements of warm-blooded animals are all too often 
overestimated.
