What is the conundrum? Don't kill stuff. Feed everything. Farm a ton of food. Easy.

So easy!
Let bacteria proliferate, don’t vaccinate, leave the tumours, and stop cleaning and eradicating 99% of all germs!
You’re being speciesist if you don’t guarantee omicron more hosts!

Its only partly okay,for now. If you appreciate their sacrifice, don't treat them poorly, and strive to create a better world without the need to subsist on other beings.
Edit: The people we eat for food today, will hopefully see they were an essential part of making the world a better place for whatever family they have left(that we didn't eat).
