I look at it like this: food is essential to our health as a species. That is, the health and well-being of other species (which comprise our foods) and ecosystems in which we are embedded (and our food is grown) is a fundamental pre-requisite for human health. So “health” is a unifying factor among and across species and environmental systems. It’s not about humans vs other species. We cannot degrade the health of other species while simultaneously boosting our own.
