midas,
You need to rework your view of the way things are, even plant life depends upon the dead organic mix in the soil for the nutrients it needs for life. This life lives on life is not something of my particular perspective but is basic biology. True there are intricate relationships, evolution, coevolution of species ect.., but, they all live on the lives of others for their survival. There is no escaping that reality, even for the vegetarian, for vegetables are life forms, and are forms of consciousness. Man tends to be an omnivore, a creature of diversity, meaning he will eat all most anything organic. Also you need send some time in nature, as I stated earlier the lacks are soon removed from the gene pool. Nature is indeed, red in tooth and claw. How many creatures had to die for you to sit down to your dinner this evening------think about it!
