Eating?! Surely not.

There's only one E

We do MRS GREN or MRS NERG and use the names antigravity uses for the processes. Eating v. confusing I think, and God knows they don't need to be confused any more about respiration/photosynthesis/eating/plants taking in minerals through roots...

R.I.N.G.M.ER. Ringmer without full-stops is a village in Hampshire England. Respiration / reproduction / irritation / excretion, in no particular order and I can't think of the others right now. My brother was the one who specialized in biology!
