Does any one eat non-livings ?!


Question: whatever we eat , are made from livings. Does it conclude that we all livings are eating each other.


Answers: whatever we eat , are made from livings. Does it conclude that we all livings are eating each other.

Well technically, anything you eat is already dead hence "non-living" unless you bite off meat from a living animal or bite into a fruit still attached to a tree or something like that. Also, nutrients are not really alive. They are at their basic level, simply elements or chemical compounds that the body uses to function, reproduce, repair and maintain itself etc. Unless of course,you or some brilliant scientists can come up with some way of synthesizing all these nutrients without obtaining them from ONCE living organisms and making it commercially and medically possible for people to consume safely. But until that happens, I guess we are stuck with eating once living things, animal and/or plants depending on your preference.

yeah, point being...?

Yeah, basically everything we eat was alive at some point, be it via an animal or a plant. The argument is moot though to someone who considers a mammal, bird, reptile, fish, or insect to be a separate type of living thing from a fruit, vegetable, or legume: few will argue that the sort of life found in a plant is different from the life found in an animal.

Everything I eat is non-living. I wouldn't go up to a cow and just take a bite out of it, cuz it would kick me to death.

To live we need to eat another living thing. Only living things provide and absorb enough energy themselves to be beneficial to whoever or whatever eats it. Vegetation and animals alike.

Things like butter, sugar, tea and eggs etc are products from living things, which have drawn their energy from the animal/plant that created them.

It's impossible to go through life without eating a living thing. As we sleep we devour many insects without our knowledge throughout the years.

The difference is that everything us Vegans are eating is grown from the earth itself. The stuff that the meat eaters are eating is grown from a womb. You are trying to balance your morality in eating flesh with those of non meat eaters. Which is completely fine because it shows your guilt is there. So you haven't been that morally corrupt regarding the slaughter of life on earth.

of course.its how God say we should do.its the survival of the fittest.

I do not eat things that are alive.
And, no we are not eating each other.
That conclusion is false.

God made everything so all were living at one time from the beginning of time. Yes, what we eat was living at one time or another. Eating things that are ALIVE now that's a 'horse of a different color' and I cannot say that I would ever do it - awake and conscience that is.

Eggs are not living, are they ?

They do not grow, breath, eat, reproduce. They are a by-product of poultry reproductive cycle

The eggs I eat could never be a chick, they are unfertilised. they cannot grow or sustain life by themselves, they are slowly decaying waste matter.

So, suprisingly, i think that makes eggs something never living.

I agree though, most things we eat are, or were once, living organisms in some way

Obviously almost all matter was once part of a living thing. But how far do we take this arguement. If I eat coal, does that count as a once living being ?

Well I suppose most things are living in some way or another, but it doesn't make them be living creatures. Most do not have brains, thoughts or feel pain. So in my opinion, it's totally different..

yes

We all eat rocks..... SALT

fruit isn't, fruit is actually a part of the plant that is discarded and spread its seed around... humnas eat fruits and discard the seeds in different locations, which helps the species of plant thrive ^_^!

Yes, it could be done because nutrients could be synthesised from the likes of oil. There were plans to do this in the '70s, but it didn't catch on and there would doubtlessly be important things missing because we don't know everything. In any case, it could cause more environmental damage than eating plants.

"Science has proved that plants feel pain, fear, pleasure, they enjoy music too."

Haha, no.

So what is your point supposed to be?

Are you pointing out that vegetarians eat living things?

That is already obvious to everyone. Vegetarians are against eating animals, not all living things. Plants don't feel pain or fear no matter how you word it or how many links you provide but animals do.

may be but i think so not.....cause what thing do we eat when we already have living food...do we eat tisue????????do we eat pampers?????do we eat papers?????????no right???....so THE ANSWER IS NOOOOOO......
