Working on it, buddy. I know how to absorb sunlight and stuff, but so far I am too concerned how my family and girlfriend would react to me not eating to try a full on experiment.

So glad you brought that up! Plankton and various types of algae are the most primal lifeforms. They have attributes of plant, animal and bacteria. Until recently, they were considered to exist in all 3 kingdoms, but now they have their own biological kingdom, because they are in a class of their own.
They don't have the capability to escape from predators. That's the type of 'movement' I was referring to. Plankton don't have that at all. They are more like the bacteria and viruses in the air that we breathe, which get ingested into 'larger life' as they merge their consciousness with ours.
Not the same as a deer running in terror from the hunter, or the cow bellowing in fear and pain while being prodded up the slaughter ramp. Whales ingest plankton much the same as we drink water or breathe air.
Poor Plankton.
