Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite ’em, and little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum. And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on; while these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on.
Most sharks killed by humans are harvested for their fins. Which the feeds the Chinese market for shark fin soup. This doesn’t have a positive impact on shark populations.
Caulfield is seeing conclusions that have escaped a majority of adults for years. Having seen them, he is the kind of kid who might grow into the man who will correct their effects. If he is allowed to, that is, by an education system that believes in statistics instead of in-depth subject matter.
Omnivores are always in the middle of the food chain. Our only salvation is that people taste and smell bad to most carnivores. Even when they are forced into hunting people because of starvation, they won’t eat more than they absolutely have to.

I’ve noticed that Caulfield likes to dig himself a hole with these deep philosophical questions.

This is why food webs have long since replaced food chains in most ecology classes. Everything is eaten by something, sooner or later.

Mosquitoes do not feed off of humans. The females need mammalian blood for their eggs. They sip nectar.
