Operation: Let's Eat Gramma

Coming Soon: A new, readily available foodstuff has been made available by the Soylent Green Corporation and is ready to be delivered to systems suffering from food shortages.
In other news, the number of Slaves and Imperial Slaves has sharply declined. Anti-slavery activists rejoice.

Are Thargoids edible? I mean, people eat bugs in some cultures, right?

They're full of Ammonia so it'd be like eating that giant Greenland shark.

Well, that’s thoroughly disgusting. Maybe we can weaponize the Icelandics. Fire them at Thargoids.

I'm guessing you've never seen the classic movie or read the classic novel then?

Good film!

I was impressed to see, for a 1973 film, a background screen with the 'Asteroids' game being played - years before it's release!

Sounds like a modest proposal.

Isn't Imperial Slavery supposed to be indentured servitude? Gives the term a whole new meaning if Imperial Slaves end up stuck in someone's dentures.

Hah! This has been a staple for ages:

Where do you think the marked slaves go?

Old ppl? Pfft! Think veal.

I say we figure out now to eat Thargoids.

Ammonia gravy is how we say, a specialist category.

Humans have a long history of figuring out how to eat seemingly gross things and even enjoy it.
