      The moon is made of green cheese, obviously – but a planet – no, I don’t think so. Although in a more general sense, food is nutrients that support life, our planet certainly has nutrients that support life, if there was an intergalactic monster large enough, it could get nutrients by swallowing our planet. But it would have to serch for a long time for its next meal – so far we are not aware of any other nutritious planets!

    Our planets are made of rock or gas. You can’t really eat gas because its not a solid. And the rocky planets are basically rocks. Have you tried eating a rock? No i didn’t think so.
    Oh, and by the way, Grant, you spelt search wrong. Just wanted to point that out.
