"I'm glad you understand the reasons for my caution," he says levelly. "As for the food... I am not a biochemist, but the issue is common enough where I come from. It's about the chirality of the molecules - my race is built on right-handed proteins. As I was informed, your world is mainly levo-amino acid-based. There may be more complications - there tends to be - but the primary concern is that my body simply can't process your food quite as intended. It wasn't designed for it."
gosh im so sorry im so slow
