I thought i should post this, just for clarification, and to explain that there is noting wrong with using whatsoever terminology one wishes, when all that matters is it is a term that is used locally, with everyone understanding what is meant by it, when it is used as a substitute, and otherwise as to what it is defined as that word meaning, scientifically and nutritionally
I know many people call any horse bagged feed grain, and nothing wrong with that, as long as they understand what it actually is.
However, if concerned about hot or cool calories, NSC ect, then one has to know if that bagged feed actually contains grain-thus hot calories, or has basically has no grain, but cool calories in the form of fats instead.
If you ask an equine nutritionist, whether grain can make a horse hot, the answer will be 'yes'
However, if you are referring to some bagged feed , containing cool calories as grain, that nutritionist will thus give you an incorrect answer, simply because she /he will take the word grain, as to what it actually is
If this post is offensive, which it is not meant to be, feel free to delete, but I think the reason terminology does matter in some cases, had to be explained, as there was nothing personal intended
I think at times, political correctness, trying to makes sure no offense is taken, keeps simple basic facts buried.
