Kelp is also a great fertilizer for the home or garden... 2051 is too far away. If only we subsidized it like we do corn and cattle.

Regarding the sanity of eating the seaweed. I think this is pretty safe. Most forms of bacteria can't survive in salt water and most bacteria thats bad for humans attacks meat. Of course there are a few exceptions like Staphylococcus. However seaweed has antimicrobial effects against Staphylococcus and this makes sense. If the bacteria has a shared environment then the plant is like a secondary immune system to the human eating it.
