It is not! Man is an omnivore and at the top of the food chain. If that fact causes people problems, then so be it, but do not try to persuade others to accept your fallacious reasoning.

No, I was trying to offer some examples of how we might evaluate a lifestyle (any lifestyle) from a moral point of view. Evidently you object to anyone evaluating your choices from any point of view. If you want to clarify what parts of my reasoning you find fallacious, I would welcome that, but it seems you are satisfied with your assumption that "man is an omnivore and at the top of the food chain," so it would seem that no further discussion is possible.
I'm not a moral relativist. I don't claim to have some special access to moral truth, but I think questions of morality are important and have answers we can try to find by working together. If you don't believe that, there's really no point in us discussing this further, and I'll be happy to let it drop.
