Totally OT 'splanation:  Lois McMaster Bujold, one of the most honoured 
writers in the current generation of science fiction today, has in her 
recent novel A CIVIL CAMPAIGN as a subplot a group of genetically 
engineered insects which eat any Terrestrial plant matter and convert it 
to a neutral edible foodstuff.  This could change the whole business of 
recycling, if the inventor can keep out of jail.  In my redactions, I 
tend to use firm tofu for the bug butter curd.

But let's take this discussion to the Bujold list:

Hmm, that's right isn't it.  Well they say that Caidan Laurels are 
different, in a good way of course... <ducking>
