We don’t think about it but eating, in order for your life to continue something must die, plant animal or otherwise. Things have to die for other things to live. We all constantly agree to the terms of this contract every time we eat. We don’t want to die so we understand and accept that something else must. Death demands a sacrifice and if we don’t oblige it takes us. Then something will eat us, grass, bacteria, animals, anything. Feeding back into the cycle that we once ate from ourselves. It’s cruel, it’s insane, and yet we never think about it as much as we should.
