Virtually every food consumed by humans is originally derived from sunlight. This is easily seen in relation to plants and seeds, but the connection to meat is less clear. How is meat ultimately derived from sunlight?

a. Animals require sunlight to survive and thrive so the meat that people consume is supported by sunlight. b. Animals utilize the heat from the sun for body temperature which supports the metabolic processes necessary to make muscle tissue. c. The animals are fed a plant-based diet and use that energy (originally derived from the sun) to build the proteins that people consume when they eat meat. d. The animals are mostly diurnal and will only eat during the day. Thus, the sun provides the light needed to support this diurnal lifestyle.
