Hi Tsa, thanks for your thoughtful words.
I just want to clarify, that most of the discussion here revolves around our mass-produced, factory farmed animals, who suffer greatly, and our other brethren, their factory farmed plant friends who also suffer greatly who are grown to solely to feed them. The system of production is broken, not the system of energy exchange. Nobody denies that it's natural for life to end and be given up to the rest of the living. What's unnatural is our desire to overproduce life so that we can slaughter it en masse for food, for pleasure, and subsequently, to waste about half of it.
