As I have been talking a lot about haggis this week it seems only appropriate to terrify you all a little bit more with a couple of links about science fictional food.

First up, the excellent Peggy Kolm has a post up on Science in My Fiction explaining why food pills, the staple diet of so many SF heroes of the past, are not a good idea.

The title of Peggy’s post mentions Soylent Green, but the post doesn’t say much about it. That honor goes to Eugene Byrne who provides an excellent explanation as to why cannibalism may become very fashionable in the near future.

Now, wouldn’t you rather be eating haggis?
