I think it boils down to how good humans taste to aliens.

That and, in a wider sense, a species' colonization of other worlds, is a very good point.

We are all made up of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen, with sprinkling of some trace elements. Yet there are combinations of these elements that are deadly toxic to us. Heck, even the same chemical has a different effect on us depending on whether it twists left or right. There was an excellent sci-fi book touching on the interplanetary biochemical compatibility. I thoroughly recommend reading it.

In short, I sincerely doubt the aliens would find us palatable.

I was kind of going the premise that we are doomed unless aliens find a use for us. If they did find us tasty, hopefully they would prefer the free range variety...

How do we know that we are not already? Have you seen the last scene in MIB?

I think I saw snippets of the movie but didn't have the opportunity to sit through the whole thing. What happened?

Goodnight from Sweden

One hour left. who is the winner today Clinton, Trump or Putin?

Why do we never see debates with leaders from different countries. Would be awesome.
