Tricky! I'll go for "Anything your gut is meant to digest that isn't classed as a vitamin."

Cool! So unless you think your gut is meant to digest conscious beings that feel pain your previous comment is just empty trolling right?

It's meant to digest anything it can digest. Morally I would disagree with someone who says "eat anything but conscious beings" because that would include eating people who are asleep or passed out, or dead.

> It's meant to digest anything it can digest.

So you think your gut is meant to digest human flesh? Fun worldview

> eat anything but conscious beings

"conscious" here means "possessing consciousness" not "conscious right now".

> include eating people who are asleep or passed out, or dead

The point is we eat what we think is acceptable to eat not just any random thing we can digest. Because we have some norms about what is OK to eat. Most norms say eating humans (dead or alive) is bad. Other norms say eating animals is also bad. QED.
