Humans are consumers because everything we eat comes from something else. The only way we become producers is if we start eating are own organs, body fluids or our young, for these are the only things we can actually produce. Everything we eat comes from other organisms. Plants are mostly producers, while animals are primarily consumers, like us. However, there are certain exceptions: if I'm not mistaken, sponges (animal) are producers while Venus fly traps (plant) are considered consumers.
