Inedible portions of the crop, such as stalks, hulls and leaves are not food. A useful but arbitrary distinction is often made between 'food', consumed by man, and 'feed', consumed by or fed to animals.

The first Birmingham bomb, at the Mulberry Bush pub in the basement of the Rotunda, a 20-storey office and retail complex and it exploded six minutes after the telephone warning.
