And eat we did, for it was brought by a food service Canitaur on a tray, and I was surprised to see that it was a mixture of broccoli, spinach, and mushrooms, with a flavorless, glowing sauce. He was right, incidentally, for it was both bitter before and pleasant after its consumption. "I know of the solids, but what is this sauce?" I asked of him. "Carbon," he replied. I looked at him and questioned, "Pure carbon? I have never heard of its having this use before."

It is our traditional energy food, for though its taste is bitter, its after-life is pleasant." "And what is food except a servant to the body?" I said, "Let us eat." "Very well," he replied.
