I would reiterate luplex's comment above:

> "feed", as used colloquially definitely refers to what OP means. So, by giving a definition OP makes clear which meaning we're talking about.

Feed is an overloaded term, so this was the best way I could disambiguate them. Any suggestions for alternate names that are more clear?
