Only use Food Contamination on smaller colonies - don't even bother with a homeworld! The population will regenerate in a turn or two and you'll have wasted 20K intel points. But if you use it on a smaller colony (<50M), you can wipe out the entire colony and force the enemy to send a transport to repopulate it before it can produce or build anything!

unless you have blockaided it
