My mom used to make pickles out of it. I may have a 50 year old jar of them. Not a fan.

After ANY Ernest T. Bass episode, the pickle one is right up there.
I can appreciate it because I think pickles are absolutely disgusting. 🤢

From the article, the scientists include "Dr. Jehn, the data science lead for the Colorado-based Alliance to Feed the Earth in Disasters (ALLFED), collaborated with Louisiana State University's Department of Ocean and Coastal Science, one German astrophysicist, and scientists from both Texas and the Philippines on the project."
And just who do these scientists think will be doing the commercial kelp harvesting, processing, and kelp food distribution following a nuclear war? Also who will build the sailboats (and approve the licenses) required to harvest the kelp with the fuel industry essentially destroyed?

I like cucumber pickles. If the kelp pickles had been any good, I’d probably be making them, today.

you just know some greenie will claim that sailboats are harmful to the environment because, you know, they use air.

Kelp has been a food, and medicine source for a millennia. It has also been used in the production of fishing line, and canoes. Scientists are also now looking at its potential as a biofuel.

Kelp powder on popcorn is actually quite tasty.

Kelp is very high in Potassium iodide. It negates the effect of radiation on the thyroid. It is what they give folks to prevent or help with radiation poisoning.

Wouldn’t a diet high in kelp lead to hyperthyroidism? This is a condition caused by too much iodine in the diet, and kelp is touted as the best way to obtain that iodine. But too much of anything is just as bad as too little of that which is absolutely required.
There are no final one-word answers for anything.

The kelp farms would likely create new habitat where there was none.
