Daily Life and Compromising

As a adult I have started re watching all the Star Trek Episodes, Most from the Original, TNG, DS9 episodes all cover interesting issues and different takes on issues with humanity from a different point of view and perspective. I have found this to be very intriguing to say the least. Anyway I finally got around to re watching the original and am on the second season. I found something interesting with the tribbles episode. The way the new wheat/rye hybrid grain was infected with a virus that become a inert material in the blood stream, so that it would slowly make it so they could not get nutrients from food the more they ate and the longer they ate it and it would slowly kill them via starvation........now from a 1967 show maybe I am over thinking things but I did find this a amusing.
