Feeding oneself ? Being fed ?
Elements of equine dietetics
Dietetics defines a certain way of eating, or more precisely of feeding oneself and others, a method supported/based on science, an art in the service of the well-being of the body rather than the spirit, of nature preceding and encompassing all culture.
And yet what we attempt to grasp by painstaking reflection and by measuring a colossal sum of parameters, the animal practises spontaneously from birth thanks to the infallible genius of instinct.
Consequently, before trying to feed "scientifically" an animal which has been domesticated for barely 5000 years, is it not advisable to make a thorough study of how this animal, returned to its freedom, feeds itself?
If we were humble enough to admit our ignorance in this field, it is possible that medicine would at last find what it certainly seems to have lost, another art intimately linked to the first, that of healing.
