Recipe For Success

For a race of starving people from a dying planet, the Koppaites seem really intent on not eating the infinitely-replenishable stock of stupid-but-obedient plant-monsters that keep following them around. They can grow super-fast in pretty much any climate, take up virtually no volume, and will convert any dead matter into more seeds – Olimar even named them after food from his planet. But okay, no, go ahead, take back some apple seeds instead. I'm sure in five years when the tree bears a handful of fruit your dead planet will thank you.
