To answer your first question: no. But, it depends on what you define as "nutrients". Do mean a pet/person who injests like a pure form of a nutrient, like its being extracted from a plant or something? Even that, I don't think its harmful since the body has an ingenious way of getting rid of too much nutrients: send it out thru the urine.
If your not talking about pure forms of nutrients, then a definite no. Animals and humans need to ingest nutrients that their body does not produce naturally, like Vitamin C, Calcium, or even HD cholesterol. Nutrient flow by animals (including us), by the uptake of nutrients, and then the decomposation of our bodies by decomposes back into nutrients then the repeat of the cycle is an essential part of the world's huge predator/prey food web.
As for the bong terms origination, I've also wonder where that term came from, but I have one theory...
I live in Hawaii, a common surf clothing brand I see is Billabong. I noticed that it has the word bong in it, which I thought was an ironic reference to how most surfers are stoners. So I looked up the word Billabong online, and this is what I found:
Bill-a-bong noun. "a stagnant pool of water in the bed of a stream that flows intermittently"
I think that def. accurately describes one important aspect of bongs that makes it unique from other smoking devices: stagnant pool of water. Of course, the fact that bongs "filter and cool smoke from combusted weed budz using a vacuum, then contain it into a chamber" is not in the def., but that's the slang talking.
Anyone have any other ideas to the origin of "bong"?
