conversations.value: The Food of the Gods (film): The film reduced Wells\' tale to an "Ecology Strikes Back" scenario, common in science fiction movies at the time.\nThe "food" mysteriously bubbles up from the ground on a remote island somewhere in British Columbia.\nmr and mrs Skinner (John McLiam and Ida Lupino) consider it a gift from God, and feed it to their chickens, which grow larger than humans as a result.\nRats, wasps, and grub worms also consume the substance, and the island becomes infested with giant vermin.\nOne night, a swarm of giant rats kill mr Skinner after his car tyre punctured in the forest.\nA professional football player named Morgan (Marjoe Gortner) is on the island for a hunting trip with his buddies when one of them is stung to death by giant wasps.\nAfter ferrying his friends back to the mainland, Morgan returns to investigate.\nAlso thrown into the mix are Thomas and Rita (Tom Stovall and Belinda Balaski), an expecting couple; Jack Bensington (Ralph Meeker), the owner of a dog food company, who hopes to market the substance; and Bensington\'s assistant Lorna (Pamela Franklin), a bacteriologist.\nAfter Morgan locates and dynamites the giant wasps\' enormous nest, he and the others become trapped in the Skinner\'s farmhouse, surrounded by giant rats.\nmrs Skinner, Morgan\'s friend Brian (Jon Cypher), and Bensington are killed by the rats.\nMorgan blows up a nearby dam, flooding the area and drowning the rats, whose size and weight renders them unable to swim.\nAfter the waters clear, the survivors pile up the bodies of the rats, spilling the jars of "FOTG".\nand gasoline on them before burning them.\nHowever, several of mrs Skinner\'s jars of "FOTG".\nare swept away, drifting to a mainland farm.\nThe substance is consumed by dairy cows, and in the film\'s closing scene, schoolchildren are shown unwittingly drinking the tainted milk, implying that they will also experience abnormal growth.
