Babies love chocolate and sometimes they also eat the paper around them. My cat enjoys a meal of good, thick paper: old letters, for example.

Of course, the best paper comes from wood. Wood comes from trees and trees are plants. Vegetables and fruit are plants too, and we eat a lot of them. So can we also eat wood and paper?

Scientists say, "All food comes in some way from plants." Well, is that true? Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their meat. Little fish eat little sea-plants; then bigger fish swim along and eat the little fish. Chickens eat bits of grass and give us eggs. Think for a minute. What food does not comes from plants in some way?

Scientists can do wonderful things with plants. They can make food just like meat and cheese. And they can make it without the help of animals. It is very good food too. Now they've begun to say, "We make our paper from wood. We can also make food from wood. The next thing is not very difficult."

What's the next thing? Perhaps it is food from paper. Scientists say, "We can turn paper into food. It will be good, cheap food too, cheaper than meat or fish or eggs."

So please keep your old books and letters. One day, soon, they will be on your plate.
