His forefathers had used seaweed to give minerals and variety to their cows. People on the ocean have all sorts of uses for seaweed. I had an aunt who used to plant her potatoes in seaweed. I used to tease her that they came out salted. But seriously what a game changer this discovery could be for the planet. I hope they can harvest that specific seaweed from all sorts of poor tropical Oceanside countries and spread the wealth that way too, as well as saving the planet.
