Eating lower on the food chain is more healthy due to the fact that they are first and they don't have any of the fatty and nasty foods that accumulate as your rise on the food chain. Eating low on the food chain significantly reduces the threat of pesticide residues as well. Tests in Britain have showed pesticide residue levels to be the highest in meat eaters, lower in lacto-vegetarians, and lowest in total vegetarians. This is because the contaminant goes through the additional link in the ecological chain, and the animal concentrates the pollutant in its body. Overall eating lower on the food chain is healthier foods and could help with weight loss and such.
