As you can see, Latho is still enjoying his meal, quite a lot so, in fact.

As for Gandhi, I’m not trying to insert myself into the discussions regarding legitimate and illegitimate criticism of his live and actions – but, logically, if there were a race of people who need to consume violence to sustain themselves, it’s a safe bet they wouldn’t be terribly fond of the man’s ideas.
