Some years ago, before crude oil prices became an economic concern and an international political issue, a biologist proposed a curious-sounding plan.  He suggested that a portion of our crude oil supplies be converted directly into edible food, instead of distilling it to gasoline for the typical farming methods for raising food. Before you become nauseated at the idea, you should know that this conversion has been done on a trial basis.  Making edible, non-toxic food from petroleum is feasible.  Also, considering that the components of fossil fuels were once ordinary plants and animals in an ordinary food chain, maybe there is some logic in his plan.  What does crude oil amount to, anyway, but dinosaur fat? (No, really it is primarily formed from microscopic organisms.)
It might be the right time to form a new corporation and market a new product.  What shall we call it…”DinoSnack,” maybe?  With interest in dinosaurs as high as it is, how can we go wrong?
Your task is to evaluate this suggestion, allowing for both pro and con, the positive and the negative aspects of it.   Surely there will be economic and political considerations, but concentrate especially on the biological, ecological factors.
OK, this sounds like a winner, because…

No, it does not appeal to me, because…
