    Wouldn’t using them as food just be using them as fuel anyways? The only difference is what you’re going to fuel with them.

      came to say this. food is fuel, we are merely labyrinthine biological furnaces that chemically incinerates whatever unfortunate matter may enter us. the fuel’s affluence is not typically relevant, but I’m a little out of touch on the science, I might be wrong.

        It’s not science just precise language. Basically food is a distinct concept because it contains both energy and material to be used by the system. The word for such a mix is “food”.
