Can't you understand that for us to live, we have to consume life.
Who told you this? I would like to have a discussion with whoever fed you that lie. We absolutely DO NOT have to consume animal life to live.
Why is an insect more important to you then a plant?
For two simple reasons. First reason is that ants aren't that different than me as a human being. They are born, they belong to communities, they eat and they defend themselves when attacked which shows that they DO have feelings such as the feeling of self preservation. More importantly ants (just like bees, deer, fish, birds, cats, pigs, dogs, cows, YOU and ME) have THE RIGHT AS SENTIENT ORGANISMS to live. Second reason is because plant sources and the human digestive system are designed for each other just like a sock is designed for a foot, how a glove is designed for a hand and how male and female sex organs are designed for each other. The human digestion system IS NOT designed to eat meat.
Do you know that plans react to the sound of chewing?
I know three things. One, I know that PLANTS are said to react to sound. Two, know that, botanically speaking, fruits are seed bearing structures that develop within the ovary of flowering plants and vegetables are plant parts such as roots, leaves and stems. Plant parts, not plants. Third, I know a PLANT can react to sounds as long as it is a live plant still connected by it's roots into the soil. A plant stem or plant leaf is not a living thing with a brain and central nervous system so NO that broccoli DOES NOT hear, sense or feel me chewing it.
And I have never said that a vegan is doing wrong.
I never accused you of saying that. I said that many meat eaters take that position via the "which is more popular" game. You DID, however, make the statement about them acting superior.
A vegan can do whatever it wants as long as it respects others. A vegan can pass a message without insults. A vegan can see others without feeling superior. Are those concepts that are too hard to understand?
Why would that be hard to understand? These are things that all human beings should do regardless of the subject matter. But please understand that there are JUST AS MANY meat eaters who don't respect others, who cannot pass a message without insults and who feel and act superior. You keep focusing one group of people when the other group is guilty of the same things. Case in point is your post below:
And haven't you read in my post that I am a man that has flaws and that tries to be aware of them?
Man, you are so fck arrogant with you vision!!
What did you say a minute ago about not insulting others?
And based upon experience people usually resort to insults when they have no rational argument to present.
But to answer your question, YES I read that but that is not a valid scapegoat. I can say the same thing if I were an adulterous husband. Either I love my wife enough to not be an adulterer or not. It's silly to play that "I'm a man who has flaws" game because that merely becomes a scapegoat and a means for a person to shield what they know to be not so great behavior.
