So why would you inflict your morality on others just because they belong to another species? With the impact of consumption by privileged people hitting the poorest and most vulnerable people the hardest, why would you inflict harm on those people by using morals that don’t help?

There’s always a “can be” for everything. The question is whether you’re willing to take personal responsibility in doing something while you can or not.

I don't. I'm indifferent to any sort of value judgment in the matter. I simply acknowledge and accept that my biology requires the consumption of nutrients. Circle of life, and all that.

Organisms are the only sufficient source of nutrients I have access to. Unless you're here to enlighten me about how to cook rocks, I don't know what you're on about.

Cook rocks? With that sort of wording, I presume that you’re not aware of medicines or supplements or fortified foods...all of which are routinely consumed by many people around the world and most of which come from different sources, including synthetic sources or through bacterial synthesis.
