Every now and again you find something that attempts justification which is very difficult to comprehend, occasionally you come across something where such attempted justification appears insane.

Whale meat again,..... don't know where,.... don't know when..........

You know, they may be onto something here.
Now, if we could just sort out the odd ethical and moral issue (as we seem to be setting precedents already - being secure that some celestial doo-dad with an attitude is not going to lob up to chat with their Humpback Homies (Star Trek… er 3?) that may crop up, how’s about looking at cannibalism? Sorts out a raft of climate-related issues all in one: food supply, over-population…
