    So when a lion dies and turns to grass, the antilopes only get back 10% of the grass they ate to make meat for the lion.

    Circle of life, my ass. More like a trickle down pyramid scheme.

      It’s even less. The Antilope converts 10% of grass to meat, the lion converts 10% of Antilope meat to lion meat. So it’s 10% of 10% bringing us back to the root problem of everything… The 1%!!!

      I mean, obviously you won’t get 100% of the energy back because most of it is spent on heating you up and moving and also heating you up, but yeah, I feel like God could’ve really done with some optimization techniques.
