I just do so at a reduced rate and I thank the one infinite creator for sustaining my vehicle. I feel the same about consuming 2D 'plant' matter, however. So there is nothing going on 'out of alignment with my highest ideal'. I would like to completely forgo eating 2D matter whatsoever, but that currently isn't (reliably) possible.
If you truly wish to 'reduce your rate' of 2D life consumption, eating a vegan diet is the way to go (or better yet high fruit raw vegan diet). It takes a lot more plants to feed animals that feed then you then if you just ate plants first. You save about 10x's the plant life by going vegan, than by eating an omnivore diet. If you truly wish to not consume 2D life, than consider this option.
(And the next step is to eat the 80/10/10 diet, which is mostly fruits. Fruits do not harm the tree you take them from and you do the tree a service of carrying its seed elsewhere and hopefully planting it.)
You speak of not consuming 2D beings, and there is a way towards that. The choice is yours to make.
I'm vegan to save plant life as well as animal life.
...And the ecological results of an omnivore are ridiculous... Which is harming all life on the planet.
