Epulor in Stercus Quod Intereo

Which appears to my untrained mind to translate into something like--Dine sumptuously on feces, and because you have done so, cease to be.

Which, if the case, works for me.

Jump in and critique!

Epulor means "I dine/feast", but in stercus - "into manure" is a little problematic. Dropping "in" would make this "I dine on manure", which is grammatically correct even if it sounds revolting.

Quod intereo is "because I am dying", so I take the whole phrase (with the caveat about inas "I dine on manure because I am dying".

Could it also be:

I dine on crap, because I am being ruined (socially "killed" or destroyed).

or

I dine in the midst of filth, because I am dying.

or even

I dine in the midst of filth, because I am being ruined.
