RE:Perhaps if you ate more apples and fewer carrots

I guess that would the same as abortions versus murder. You are only killing a potential apple tree if you eat an apple, but you kill the whole plant when you eat the carrot.

RE:typically one species feeds on another, not on itself

Actually, many animals will eat their young. Even my pet mice used to eat theirs some times(I was feeding them too!). One of the greatest dangers to young alligators is being eaten by another alligator, there are human cannibals too, so that's one thing that humans and alligators have in common. The question is, do we really want to be in that company?
