An alternate ask maybe then is: it could use a paragraph that more expressly acknowledges disagreement/confusion about what being eaten is. The three existing paragraphs do each convey specific excuses people have but they are presume at least some awareness that “being eaten” is what’s happening.
I can’t tell if you’re actually asking me to edit it; if so that’s a fine/good thing to ask, but in this case, and probably usually, my answer to a request like that would be:
That’s reasonable but I don’t want to revisit it because I would only want to engage with this topic in some depth, or not at all, and I don’t have in-depth time. Feel free to quote/remix (with general attribution for copying anything ~sentence-length or longer).
In general, for many activities, I’m somewhat of a “container ship”, by which I mean, slow to turn in some direction (turn my attention, turn my thinking, turn my efforts, turn my loyalty, etc.), but once turned I’m high-inertia (hard to turn away, determined, etc.).
I think I am “suggesting you edit it, if it seems good by your lights”, and flagging that I’d like someone else to write a post that does the thing I want, not necessarily you.
Mmm nod I see it.

Seems fine for you to be like “nah.”
