Some things are not meant to be thought about, like food for health and survival. Yes, think about sugar, salt, and humane farming/ranching, but not plants, fish and animals intended as nourishment. There is wisdom in the concept of not partaking from the tree of knowledge. For instance, if you are a vegan and read The Light Eaters by Schlanger, you might never eat again and you would die. That is not a natural or helpful circle of life. Literal necessities of life are not subject to guilt.
