What? How do you come to this conclusion when the Pagh-Wraiths are energy
beings, not solids at all? Secondly, perhaps these plants do use the
photosynthesis that our earthly plants do, but process their energies a
different way, such as on the ultraviolet spectrum of light. There is a
fiction in Science Fiction as well.

I was wondering that myself. They made such a big deal about her being a
vegetarian in a previous ep, but no menton of it here. I guess the
anti-hunting message was strong enough without the vegetarian getting a dig
in here.

Suspend your disbelief to a higher degree....<g>

Didn't think that, the word wraith has been used before in non Trek fiction,
for example Tolkien.

LOL, I wondered about that for a second, but it simply didn't fit at all,
besides, where was the great link?

She probably ate some tastefully grilled leaves and stems.

Wabbit season, or duck?
