You should advise your patient to buy shares in my extraterrestrial
vegetarian enterprise. I have concluded that the bulk of the carbon
in vegetables is derived from breath exhaled from animals, some
of them quite unpleasant, and the only satisfactory source is now
from some other planets that may never have had animals, such as
Mars. Whether my engineers decide to bring the carbon dioxide here
or take the customers there will be decided democratically even though
I am the Company President.
