"I've come across more and more people who've actually tried reading science fiction and can't make it make sense."

| Edible insects raised fresh in your own kitchen! |
| I know things taste better fresh, not packaged. They say hamburger clogs your arteries and hurts the rain forest. We should eat like our Stone Age ancestors, who dug roots, got plenty of exercise, and always stayed a little hungry. So they say. Still, I balked when my wife served me termites.
"Come on, honey, try one. They're delicious." Gaia had the hive uncrated and warmed up by the time I got home. Putting down my briefcase, I stared at hundreds of the pasty-scaled critters scrabbling under a plastic cover; tending their fat queen, devouring kitchen trimming, making themselves right at home in my home. |
