What you eat and what you CAN eat, are different things.
Bears can have diets that are up to 90% vegetarian, and the meat they do eat is usually already killed animals or fish. It's pretty rare that a bear takes down a live animal for eating. They will dig for roots before they start hunting for game.
Are they at the bottom of the food chain?
What are you even implying by being "bottom of the food chain?" That another species will take over being dominant on earth because we decided not to eat meat?
What if we grow our own meat? We're not killing any animals. Are we still at the bottom of the food chain?
I have no problem with eating meat if it can be sustainable, but this food chain argument is pretty ludicrous. We were never on top of the food chain because of what we eat. We are on top because we invented ways to kill the things that would eat us otherwise.
