I'm still thinking about centaurs!

conulySeveral people have mentioned that centaurs must eat a lot to support their huge horse body AND their not-too-tiny human body.
But not all horses are huge. What if centaurs aren't big? What if the horse half is, like, a miniature horse and the human half is scaled accordingly? What does that do to their diet? Shouldn't they eat less then? Why do we assume centaurs are big?
On another note: Winged humans. How do they work? Whichever sort of wings they are - bat wings, fairy wings, angel-type wings, bird wings of another sort - is there ANY way to make that happen? In Earth gravity? I assume they have a delicate bone structure, but how do the wings even attach?
