Giant Jellyfish invade Japan, interfering with fishing and threatenening the food supply. Japanese solution: Jellyfish BECOME the food supply.

I'm all in favor of eating nuisance species. Nothing helps adjust a population faster than predation, and predation by humans has the benefit of being slightly more controlable than by another species, which you can't arrest or suggest move to another food supply.

Although I'm having problems with a phrase from the article. "Students in Obama have managed to turn them into tofu" - Tofu is bean curd. Jellyfish are not beans. What lingquistic contortions do you have to go through to make tofu from an animal?

I also had no idea man o'war were a colony organism. I'd been informed they weren't jellyfish recently... but dude. Four different kinds of animals at once? Cool.

Don't be silly. Tofu is not any kind of vegetable. Tofu is "vaguely edible solid foodlike matter", and hence anything can be made out of anything.

I've eaten jellyfish. It was pretty tasteless and uninteresting.

Tofu = quivering block of protein.
Jellyfish = quivering sac of protein.

Almost none, to my untutored eye.

-- Steve found tofu revolting, in the literal sense. Only a napkin and quick thinking saved the evening from tofu projectile launching.

Yes.. i NEVER got the thought of Tofu as being gross out of my head. I remember once, they use to make it into Ice Cream... "Tofutti"
