Vegetables are living stuff.??When you pick up a carrot from the earth to eat, you kill a carrot.

You can't live by eating rocks btw.??

Goodluck

Do you know how many times I get this argument???Every time I say I don't think something should have to die for me which is every time someone asks me why I choose not to eat meat which is a lot.??

Do you seriously not understand what I mean by "something living" or are you just trying to raise your post count by arguing over semantics???-_-

I don't think anything which experiences gross-to-subtle sentience should have to die for me.

Plants only experience sentience in the very gross levels.??It can barely be defined as sentient in that it can react to environmental changes, differentiate between certain positives and negatives, seemingly "learn" from experiences and discern itself from something else.??These, however, are simple survival skills possessed by every living thing; and these are all the neural faculties a plant holds.

They don't have emotions.??They don't feel pain.??They don't know fear.??They propagate in such a way that their offspring is an exact copy of them.


Not the best definition I can think of, but I'm sleepy - and I'm tired of the "plants are alive!" argument.??Yes, they are; but you know what I meant.??D:
