Food of the Gods

The so-called "Food of the Gods" was coined by Mr. Bensington when he and his colleague, Professor Redwood, created an artificial good additive which induced growth. Afterward Bensington decided the name sounded too sensational and thus the additive's name was changed to Herakleophorbia IV (after the Roman name of the mythical Hercules).

The "food," which is never given a proper scientific name, bubbles mysteriously out of the ground and vaguely resembles runny outmeal. It is discovered by Mr. and Mrs. Skinner, who feed it to their livestock. It's name is derived by their belief that the substance is a gift from God.

Gnaw: Food of the Gods II

The "food" is an accidental hormone concoction created by Dr. Kate Travis. Her experimental growth formula (possibly created from the earlier "food"), intended to use to treat growth disorders in children, combined with an unknown agent in the blood of Bobby. It is the resulting green-colored liquid mixture of Travis' formula and Bobby's blood which results in the gigantism-inducing side-effects. Its name is coined by Neil Hamilton's assistant Joshua, who envisions its use to end world hunger.
