What I don't get is why we don't eat kudzu.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kudzu
IIRC a lot of it has at some point been sprayed with super toxic herbicide to try and kill it off.
Don't quote me on that though I'm just quoting a Wendigoon video from memory
It's difficult to eat your way through an invasive species. Himalayan Balsam is also edible but it's thriving in the UK.
In fact edibility is often the reason these things are so invasive, it's why American Signal crayfish are over in the UK.
Texas: Hold my beer.

(Also Texas: Have you tried hunting the kudzu from a helicopter using automatic weapons?)
I've seen someone collecting lionfish, basically using a litter picker and a bag.
Because Crake is saving it for some special project at Rejoov.
I hate (and am terrified) that I understood this reference. That series is horrifying.
