1) All animals get their energy from food.
2) Plants get their energy from sunlight.
3) If our bodies are amazing machines, then food is our fuel.
4) We get more energy from eating vegetables than from eating meat because the energy from the sun loses strength as it moves through the food chain; plants have the most direct energy from the sun, while animals that eat other animals have used up more energy in the process of chasing and consuming their prey.
5) If a third animal eats the second animal, it will get less energy.
