Eating the flesh of a plant is not morally justified because it is a living organism.

eating the fruits of a plant is justified, since fruits are produced by plants with the goal to be eaten by animals, so the seeds can be spread and conveniently pre-fertilized by the animals (including humans) once they’re digested and excreted.

Fruits are plants
Why is this in relationships? Lmao
shut up I hate this argument

what do you eat?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA 😅 Vegans actually follow this principle. My friend billy said his dad does and my friend billy doesn't lie because if he does he does not get pocket money.
Becuase we need plants. We just kill animals for the sake of greed. (It TaSteS gOoD)
Does this mean animal cruelty doesn't exist because plant cruelty doesn't?

That is not a valid point since humans excrete the seeds into sewers which means they will never grow. Therefore humans eating these fruits is not serving the goal of the plant, and by your argument, means you should not eat them.

Cruelty is a matter of choice...and while one has choice it will always exist.

In the sewers it is possible for a homeless vegetarian to find.

Um no it doesn't work like that at all.
We wouldn't survive without vegetables, we would die pretty harshly with all sorts of diseases with animal-only products.
You can live an amazing life on a vegetarian diet, but a pretty short and **** one with just meat.

You can't choose to be cruel to plants though. There's no such thing as plant cruelty.

If we say cruelty is of any kind is wrong and killing animals is a form of cruelty then killing animals is wrong. It's not cruel to kill plants.

Looool your point becomes what should you eat and you dont even try give a point regarding how it is fine to eat them....so you know its wrong if following your principle of veganism but you dont really gaf.


Not vegan.
I don't need to give a point animals eat plants, the animals are bred over an over so people can eat meat. Doesn't that make meat eaters worse for collectively eating more plants?

Whyyyyy?!


Plants can’t feel pain, that’s probably the main reason.

Vegetarians openly decry the slaughter of animals but they think nothing of tearing carrots and spuds out of the earth or of sticking a zucchini into a high-speed blender. .


Laughed out loud at this. Saving it for my funny quote section.
