The Food Chain:
- The Food Chain is a horrific nightmare that I am disgusted to be a participant in.
- It is good to be on the Food Chain when you are at the top. If I was in the middle or bottom of it, I probably would not like it as much.
- I like the fact that living, sentient and non-sentient creatures are constantly killing and eating each other, in violent ways.
- Yes, the Food Chain is horrific but I accept it as a necessity. Plus steaks are yummy. Try not to overthink it!
- Mom said I was special so I have a special answer! It is different and unique, just like me!
- I have no opinion about being on the Food Chain. I have no such opinion because I have never given it any serious thought. And I have never given it serious thought because I am a dull person who unthinkingly conforms to norms like a programmed robot.
