In that case I believe you're saying something else, not answering the question I had asked. The sentence I replied to was this:
> as apex predators we are extremely dependent on the lower branches of the foodchain working properly
Again, I repeat my question: if we were lower in the food web, wouldn't we still depend on branches of the food web lower than you? That seems to be true regardless of where you are on the food web. In fact, wouldn't we be more susceptible to harm if we had fewer possible sources of food? One would expect that the fewer alternatives we have, the worse off we would be, right?
