  Can you photosynthesis afterward?

    I imagine there is an incredibly short window in which I technically can.

      Can’t tell if joking or anti-science, but ok.

        Digestion begins before you swallow. I expect if I chewed up some salad, opened my mouth and aimed it at the sun, some percentage of what I’d just chewed on would have access to co2, h2o and 600nm EMR, and synthesize a glucose molecule two.

        Since the genesis of this conversation was purely semantic (“why is eating a chrolorplast theft if eating anything else isn’t?”) I think it’s pretty fair game to point out that yes, technically I also can reap the benefits of photosynthesis in a very limited way.

        Not really a point in getting into a semantic argument if you’re just gonna come out swinging about being anti-science.

    Can we learn how to steal the chloroplastic piracy of the algea?
