Riddle

Four wings I have, which swiftly mount on high, on sturdy pinions, yet I never fly; And though my body often moves around, upon the self-same spot I'm always found, and, like a mother, who breaks her infant's bread. I chew for man before he can be fed.

Choose an answer

A.A wind turbine
B.A watermill
C.A weathervane
D.A windmill
Hint: It's a 2-word phrase with 9 letters, starting with "A".

Answer

A windmill

Why this is the answer

A windmill's four sails ("wings") spin high in the air without ever leaving the spot it's built on, and it grinds grain into flour -- "chewing" the food -- before people can bake it into bread.
