Is it because they don't have cute, fuzzy faces?!
!.!.!.why is it ok slaughter and eat plants and not animals!?
is it because they don't look like an animal, or have quick responses to stimuli (i!.e!. can't run away or vocalize to show distress), or have feelings* (i've seen arguments for "lack of central nervous system" so they can't feel* pain!.!.!.however, plants do have complex chemical signaling in response to injury that is different from animals so isn't that rather inappropriate to make that comparison)!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
you wont get a serious answer, its a line for these people, once you start talking about plants being living things they start talking about slaughtering animals!. Its sad really!. They're the ones who call us murderers and savages when its in fact them who are constantly talking about tearing animals apartWww@FoodAQ@Com
Because I've tried eating rocks but all the geologists ganged up against me!.
Seriously though, it is a moral choice!. It has been proven that animals feel pain, most scream, but all animals feel pain in some way!.
With plants, although they do have chemical signals, they have no central nervous system (sorry) and therefore can not feel pain!.
People chose not to eat animals because they are animals!.
It is difficult to see a plant being picked as killing it!.
Maybe there will be research to show that plants can feel!.!.!.
But then what will we eat!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

YAY, I'm so glad miss!.nomer has another troll-friend on here! Either that, or a second personality!.
As a plant right activist, I don't eat plants either!. I'm a rockaterian!. I'm considering giving rock up though, cause they might feel pain, just like plants!. Just because repeated scientific evidence shows that plants feel no sort of pain or emotion doesn't mean it's true! Goshhh plant-eaters are the scum of the earth!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Picture yourself mowing the lawn!.
Then picture yourself cutting a pig's tail off!.
If you honestly, truely, feel exactly the same about both of these thoughts, then maybe I can continue this conversation with you!.
If not, which I suspect is the case, please stop trying to play stump the veg*n, you know this is full of crap!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because animals, they have a beating heart and a brain that tells them how to survive, They have cute and fuzzy faces and plants dont!. Plants may be somewhat living but they are not part of the animal kingdom!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
My opinion is that all life has value be it plant or animal!. Something must die for me to survive!. As long as I am aware of that fact and am thankful for what I receive I can live with my choice of a meat inclusive diet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Plants don't actually have a life!. I mean, they don't have a beating heart, a brain or organs!.
They also aren't "slaughtered"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
They also aren't "slaughtered"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

vegetarians also do not eat animals without cute fuzzy faces!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
