The end result, of course, was the Reticulan Burger. Heh.

On Topic: ... Though in the case of the BETAs I don't think it's viable. Hmm, come to think of it, in the aftermath of the Kyoto defense, there's a suspicious lack of BETA corpses lying around compared to the sheer amount of human dead (as shown by the mass graves and bodybags).
I remember there was a dead Fort class shown, but not dead tanks or destroyer class. Put it down to poor scripting of the show or insufficient funds that more was not shown.

There might be a reference to eating BETA, check out the Gen thread
