    That’s because they taste extremely bitter and putrid. I suggest we just eject them into space towards the sun, and make them pay for it.

      The amount of fuel required to launch them into the sun is more than is required to eject the from the solar system completely, it’s not very efficient.

      Although putrid, they remain a valuable source of protein and nutrients. As a more carbon-efficient alternative, I suggest tying some waste stone around their feet and chucking them into the sea. Something in the depths will eat them.

        We could use them as feed for hungry wild animals. I just don’t want to be accused of poisoning wildlife.
