The most we can do is try to draw a line somewhere in the natural food chain, according to our own inner wisdom, experience, and preferences, and let the chips fall where they may.
arguable.
eating the fruit of a plant while planting the seed and tending it, is a positive act as far as it can be. at least, it is nonnegative.
in another respect, handling 1d material and transforming/transmutating it is something 1d entities need for progress.
the questions here would be to transform the willing 1d material to whatever they want to be transformed into.

it is still a destructive move that destroys a self propelling 2d entity for self profit.
