I remove costs using illegal migrant labor
[quote name="Californication"][quote name="Ray, of Light"][quote name="Chairman Mao"] I'm not sure your calculations concerning the overhead of such a thing are entirely accurate. You're assuming the delivery mechanism for those 300 calories (and large amounts of oxygen, incidentally) is highly highly efficient; as in, more efficient than a human body. Unless I'm missing what you're saying entirely.

It's the removal of those costs that gives the real benefit. Ray![/quote] 200 calories a day, you damn okies![/quote]
