Carnivorous plants usually live in really nutrient low environments
which is why they make their own fertilizer...

In terms of my personal menu, I don't eat carnivorous plants. Therefore I need
not consider the ethics of consuming them.
Good question, though.

I hope your not really saying that's your test, Dan. That sure opens
the
door to eating lots of different animals.
Obviously you have other criteria as well; cows, after all are
vegetarian.

I don't think that a sea urchin is capable of thought, but who knows?
Sea urchins have no true brain, but they are sensitive to touch,
light, and chemicals. Although they do not have eyes, the entire body
of sea urchins might function as a compound eye.
Sea urchins feed mainly on algae, but can also feed on sea cucumbers
and a wide range of invertebrates, such as mussels, sponges, brittle
stars, and crinoids. So, they eat other animal life, and thus are
fair game for us (and for sea otters, who love urchins).
