They can, but there isn’t much reason to. Food is specialized, and unnecessarily complex and fancy. For instance, why would I bother cooking noodles if I was just going to feed them to a car? And the sheer amount of noodles I’d have to cook to get that car to do anything useful is astonishing. All those noodles would be better fed to people who cannot get by on drinking gasoline like cars can. Alternatively, if we could find a way to safely eat and digest gasoline, it might stop world hunger in its tracks.
