We eat living stuff. None of us is really happy eating dirt. So somewhere an arbitrary line needs to be drawn - what can I eat without exacting an undue cost on the rest of the living planet? It's very popular now to "eat low on the food chain", and I tip my hat to those who actually do so. I eat meat, and I don't lose any sleep over it. My line is drawn at, say, pigs. I'd eat a horse, a pig, a cow and (if the chef knows what she's doing) a cat. I won't eat an octopus, a monkey or ape, a sea mammal. Or abalone or lobster (which while not very smart are slow to reproduce. Stately invertebrates). I consider Greenpeace and the Sierra Club to be shot through with Luddite sentiments. Even if they are carefully excluded from the brochures. When's the last time you saw either Greenpeace or the Sierra Club praise anything technological?
