I make it a point to never look something in the eye that I may be forced to eat someday.
I was addressing your starfish story. Throwing them back only disturbs the food chain.
As stated above by the very intelligent D, nothing goes to waste. While you may not see it, there are critters out there that depend on storms tossing starfish onto the shores. Did it occur to you that the starfish that got tossed were the weak ones that could not hold their own (literally)?
Now, the herd(?) of starfish are endangered due to overcrowding or any of a number of possibilities because you did not let nature take its course.
