    Interesting. I'll have a steak then thanks.

    So we need something that is tasty and somehow uses up methane...

    Perhaps a system could be designed to collect the farts during the life of the insect, and use the collected emissions to cook the insect and so end up 'methane neutral'. I would imagine it's easier to do this for a maggot than for a cow, although I suppose it would have to work with multiple maggots, not one at a time, and it might mean everyone having their own maggot farm in their kitchen. And I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't some drawbacks to such a system that I haven't thought of. (I must admit, I can't claim to have fully thought this through.)

    Breakfast:
    Chilly and pumpkin bread, with cream cheese and pumpkin orange jam (I made the bread and the jam, not today of course).
    Greek yogurt with 2 grated apples and chia seeds.
    Fantastic as usual.

    Sounds like a breakfast I would expect in prison .
    Fried tomatoe (the healthy bit), rasher of bacon and 2 bantam eggs on toast, don't usually have cooked during the weekdays, not counting porridge, but it's raining!

    There are many approaches to punishment. Greek yoghurt and chia seeds for breakfast are strange ways indeed.

    I remember someone who saw me eating muesli for breakfast in a youth hostel on the morning of a fell race telling me that it was food for horses. It was only later that I thought, "Horses run fast, I want to run fast today, so it is quite right that I should be eating a horse's breakfast".

    You should have them put it in a doggy bag for after the race, deserve it then and always tastes better after a good run!

    Gareth Buffett, who was a GP, once told me that on the morning of a long fell race he would have a big fry-up. He would then feel dreadful for the first few miles of the race, but after that he felt great.

    I did do it once actually, and recall having a reasonable race. I can't for the life of me remember which race it was though...

    In fact i think it was the Buttermere Sailbeck time trial last September.
