Okay, well then I have a thought.
Say you have a person who day to day lives their lives in service to others, simply because that feels natural to them. They volunteer, they help old ladies cross the road, they aid the poor and in general spend their days spreading love and working to do good for others. The only twist is that despite all of this service, this person eats meat, not constantly, but it is part of their diet.
Is this person STS or STO? Is the apparent service to self of eating meat enough to completely dispel the service to others? Will this person inevitably be unharvestable because of this aspect of themselves? No matter how much good the person might do because they eat meat, they will, for their lives, be serving themselves?
