man is not the only being that produces

Marx states that, " [Man] begins to destinguish himself from the animal the moment he begins to produce his means of substinence...By producing material food, man inderectly produces his material life itself" (107). I disagree with this statement because technically, man is not the only organism that produces his own food, his "means of substinence" (107). Bees make their own honey and hives. Bacteria process substances in their environment with enzymes to produce food for themselves. Plants produce their own food, glucose through photosynthesis. Thus, there are many example of animals that can produce their own "means of substinence" (107).
