I've always wanted to see this analysis since reading Nancy Kress' *Beggars in Spain* trilogy many many years ago, wherein they modify people to be photosynthetic and to get the rest of the calories / nutrients needed from standing in dirt.
Sounds like they'll be absorbing a lot of dirt-calories!
Brilliant...just the kind of sci speculation that is a joy to read and informative.
Thank you! I'm pleased you hit something out of it. =)
