I got the "vulture chow" point right off. In Norway sheep grazing in mountain pastures are also called "bamsemums" -- "bear goodies", the same name as a brand of chocolate covered marshmallow teddy bear-shaped candies, but in the latter case we eat the bears while in the former the bear eats you.

Anyways ... when biking in the summer I think we're more gnat nosh or mosquitoe meals than vulture chow. The vulture chow state is a distant, worse case nightmare, whereas gnats nosh on us constantly.
