@...Stolid: Spiders don’t really ‘eat’. What that spider is going to do is inject the lizard with venom & digestive juices. The insides of the lizard will turn into a milkshake. The spider will drink up as much as it needs and then wrap the lizard for later use.

@...dieAntagonista: Terrifying? That’s just nature.

How about humans, who do things like rip organisms in half while they are still growing, throw them into the back of a truck, and transport them off to be wrapped. Some of them are still alive when they get to the packaging facility.

These unfortunate souls are then taken to market, where their sundered forms are put on display for everyone to inspect.

Eventually, someone like you will come along, give them a squeeze to check for freshness, and bring them home. There, they are put in cold storage until such time as you deem fit to grab a handful of flesh, rip it off and toss it into a salad bow.

From there, it get’s stuffed into your omnivorous maw, where it is mercilessly masticated, pulped into shreds. It descends into a bladder full of acid where it is broken down into nutrients.

And that’s just what happens when you eat lettuce.
