Best Answer

Short food chains mean that your food is close to the source. All food ultimately comes from plants. If you eat a vegetarian animal, it was raised on plants. If you eat a carnivorous animal, you are eating an animal who has eaten another animal who ate a plant. Eating a carnivorous animal makes you part of a longer food chain than if you eat plants directly.
