Plant's Are Life, Are They Not? Why Do You Eat Them?!


Question: Plant's Are Life, Are They Not!? Why Do You Eat Them!?
Answers:
Plants don't feel pain!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I hate the "plants are not sentient beings" argument, so it's OK to eat an animal in a coma!? What if they have sight, but don't experience pain!? Too many tangents to go with that!.

When you're eating low on the food chain, you are in fact harming less plants!. Think of all the plants that an animal eats throughout its lifetime prior to being slaughtered!. That's a lot of plants!. If a human were to eat the amount of calories directly, w/o the middle animal, then they would get way more energy/meals than if they ate the animal!. Being veg saves plants!. For each level you go up the food chain, 90% of the energy is lost as heat/basic processes!.

So, to sum it up, one is committing less violence by being a veg, not because they are transferring the violence to plants, but because overall less plants are eaten!.

Yes plants are life but a very different type of life than animals!. They can't feel pain and they don't have a central nervous system!.

We don't go vegetarian because we're so against eating something that was once alive!. Animal cruelty is very different from harvesting a plant that doesn't have a mind and cannot feel pain, and it's a completely different type of organism!. Plus there are other reasons for being vegetarian such as because it's healthy, for religious/spiritual reasons, or simply because you don't like the taste of flesh!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

That's what plants are for!. After the season is over they die if they are not eaten!. Fruit is picked and we spit the seeds out, and they grow into another plant!. That's what was intended!.
Animals were not made for us to murder!. Would you kill a chicken with your hands and teeth and lick it's blood!?
That's what a carnivore would do!. If you can't kill it and eat it raw then you can't be a carnivore!. Can you!? Laugh all you like !. You have to live with yourself!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

<Yawn> Like this isn't the favorite question of vegan-bashers!. Please, please try to find an original question that doesn't ask about plants, okay!? We've told you a million times!.

But I'll explain it AGAIN!.

Plants do not have a central nervous system!. They do not have the capacity to feel pain!. It would do them no good to process pain, as plants do not have the ability to escape predation!. I am sure that you can tell the difference between a carrot and a cow!. Futhermore, it takes between five and fifteen pounds of plant food to produce a pound of animal food!. So your little quarter pounder is killing roughly four pounds of plants, plus the grain for your bun, plus the tomato, lettuce, and other garnishes on your burger, provided you're putting them on!. Then there are the sides you'll no doubt have with it--plants, right!?

To a point someone else brought up about how he'd rather be killed, I will point out that the lives of animals raised for food are sheer unmitigated hell and that the supposed humane process does not work because of slaughterhouse line speeds!. Many cows are cut up and die piece by piece, in the words of one former slaughterhouse worker!. The killing blades often miss the animals' necks and cut lesser blood vessles (not the jugular vein or carotid artery)!.

But enjoy your cowburger!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'll try not to be mean!.!.!.

Why!?

First may I suggest a course in botanical biology!?

You obviously must have failed high school biology!. Let me refresh your mind…

Plants have no nervous system!. Plants cannot feel the way animals do: they are emotionless!. No message of pain can be sent to a central brain or to a center of feeling!. In simple terms, plants do not feel you ripping a leave off and eating it (most can even grow torn cells back under the right conditions)!. But, when you take a bite out of a cow's ***, they will feel it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well that is why i eat them and not animals because i hate them (Kill them all!!!)!.!.!. And since animals feel pain and plants apparently do too and you seem to care about them sooo much then I'll make you a deal: You watch a video of what goes on in a slaughter house and I will sit down and watch a strawberry harvest!. How does that sound!?

1!. Because I don't want to eat animals
2!. It's not necessary to eat animals for nutrition
3!. Animal life is very similar to human life in many ways, plant life is not!.
4!. We can't live by eating rocks!.

I really don't fell like explaining how the entire Central Nervous System works like I do every time a question like this pops its head up around here!.

I'll simply say that animals have one, even insects have a basic form of one, plants do not!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

plant's are our source of energy!.
meat eaters get energy from cows and other animals because they eat plants (in best case scenario b/c some 'farms' feed their animals ground up dead animals of the same species!.)
eating plants directly cuts out the gross rancid rotting animal carcass!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

*yawn*

Plants have no central nervous system!. They are scientifically incapable of feeling pain!. And since it takes about a dozen pounds of plant matter to produce one pound of meat, meat eaters are responsible for the death of many more plants than are vegetarians!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

because plants don't have the complex nervous system that animals have including humans, animals show emotion!. plants don't!.
Www@FoodAQ@Com

Plants are not conscious beings like animals and humans they do not breathe, walk, feel pain, suffer or show emotions animals do!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

THEY DONT FEEL, HAVE NO THOUGHTS, THEY ARENT HARMED IN ANY WAY, THEY ARENT STABBED WHILE THEY ARE STILL ALIVE, SO YA, THEY ARE FINE TO EAT!

PS PICK ME!!!!
PPS PLZ PICK ME!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm more concerned with sentience/suffering than biological life!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

For the same reason I eat meat, they are tasty and delicious!.

Except brussels sprouts, you can keep those!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the carbon foot print is smaller!. at least plants dont miss the sun if they are grown in doors!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If we won't eat plants OR animals, exactly what would we live off of!? Synthetics!? I would think!.!.!. not!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

they do not feel painWww@FoodAQ@Com
