Have you ever eaten so much that your belly hurts? Have you ever had four scoops of ice cream even though your mother said you could only have two? And then gone out for McDonald's?
If you have, you were “pigging out” (and you were probably sick afterwards). Pigs, like people, eat both meat and vegetables. But instead of just one kind of vegetable, some rice and a piece of chicken, pigs often eat many different things all at once.
Many farmers or families who own pigs often feed them scraps of whatever they have leftover from other animals' or people's lunches or dinners.

Handing down a name over generations is a central part of the Japanese traditional theater art of Kabuki, and that ceremony gets celebrated at theaters and special events every few years. Now, the ritual is taking place with the eighth Kikugoro, who is having that honor passed down from his 83-year-old father, the seventh Kikugoro, who in turn got that name from his father. “Taking on the name is about taking on the spirit and responsibility that’s created and getting passed down over generations by those who came before us,” the younger Kikugoro, Kazuyasu Terajima, told reporters recently.
