Ethics of eating plants?!


Question: Ethics of eating plants!?
Ok so according to some of you on this forum, I'm mean for eating plants!. How very cruel of me to take a plant's life!. The thing is, I never thought plants felt pain!.
I took a huge bite into an apple today- and I swear it screamed!. Has anyone else had this happen to them!? Thought not!.

Can somebody enlighten me- Why do people say it's unethical to eat plants!?
Thanks :)xWww@FoodAQ@Com

Eating defenseless plants in cruel!. Vegetarians are guilty of chlorophyllocide!.

That's why I live off steam!. I had a large delicious bowl of steam for breakfast!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hmmm, I guess the response would be that we evolved to fit into the world as an eater of plants but consumed animals as needed!. For those who have beliefs in a higher power, God gave us the earth to husband and care for, but not to abuse with callousness that is the factory farm!. We must eat something and can't exist on rocks and chemicals, though some folks really need to bring their lithium levels up quite a bit!. Eating an apple!? Well, apples are human evolved in that originally apples were not much more than large berries!. For the apple, they enjoy us eating them so we spread their seeds (at least it would be so if apples were still berries)!. The best tomatoes you will find growing naturally are in human sewage waste dumps from your septic system pumping!. Plants, some anyway, spread their seed because they are consumed!. Those that don't like that make toxins so they get left alone!. Hardly screaming!. Enjoy your apple as they owe their modern existence to you!. Better then eating a rock which will leave you screaming, especially if you get it down!. What happens next is the stuff of nightmares!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah, it's totally unethical to eat plants, just like it's totally unethical to eat animals!.

Any decent person would give up both and enjoy a diet consisting of only nail polish remover!.

Drink up ;)

Edit: Hala gets 3 thumbs up for not being smart enough to figure out that the question and all answers preceding hers were tongue in cheek!? um!.!.!. OK!.!.!.!. get your panties all tied in a knot for nothing why don't you!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No nervous system, no brain, they can't feel pain!. There's a whole world of difference between picking a carrot and brutally slaughtering a cow or chicken!. And guess what!.!.!. we have to eat *SOMETHING* so until all you non-sensical critiques discover a way for people to photosynthesise, I'm going to continue eating my fruit & veg with a clean consience!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know right! Stupid body cells, requiring matter to be converted into glucose, to be converted again into ATP!. Maybe if we stand still long enough, and get enough sun, we can learn how to do that sweet(no pun intended) photosynthesis thing ourselves!. (disclaimer-sarcasm, pretty sure most of ya got it,but it never hurts to make certain!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yea, I know!. Everytime!. Every time I steam broccoli I hear them crying :*( Thats why I'm living on air!. It is perfectly healthy if your get your air from all four air groups, you know!.

And, carrot juice is murder!.

I agree, vegetarians are total plant murderers ;D

*Ahem* plants do not have a brain or central nervous system and are therefore incapable of suffering!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I guess people want you to learn how to exist on air!? I mean seriously, how can you be so cruel!? Those poor, helpless apples XDWww@FoodAQ@Com

Because some people are NOT very intelligent!. I love the the humour ( :Www@FoodAQ@Com

its not that plants feel pain, we all knowe they dont!.!.!.but its the vegetarians who say we are cruel for taking a life so we can eat!.!.!.yes the plant doesnt feel pain but it i still a life!.!.!.now if vegetarians said they didnt want to kill animals for say the fact they are sentient!.!.id have no problem but when a vegetarian says "i dont kill for my food" they are mistaken as you are taking a plants life!.!.!.!.

i just wish that instead of vegetarians saying they dont kill for their food that they say they dont kill sentient being for their food!.!.!.because at the end of the day, everyone kills for thier foodWww@FoodAQ@Com
