Vegetables make me fart, that's why I only eat meat.
You're pretty much beating a dead horse.
ha ha that was a good one dude.
If you shoot a plant it just flutters in the breeze. If you shoot an animal to eat its meat, it lets out a sorrowful yowl to indicate pain and self awareness.
have you ever seen that "save a salad eat meat" shirt? i have posed that same question many a times! and apparently they did some crazy study that claims plants have feelings too!!!
such is why we have to eulogize before eating. animals eat plants too. poor plants
Yeah!! Why do you tolerate cruelty to those cute fuzzy-wuzzy wittle pwants? Plants have rights too!
lol
plants can regrow after you harvest them, animals cannot.
get a life please
I am a mean, evil omnivore; I subject plants AND animals to horrible death and dismemberment ;-)
Please notice tongue planted FIRMLY in cheek :-)
I appreciate your thinking but we need some thing to eat.If we leave the plants we will starve to death.Human beings are also alive then also the wild animals attack the humans for food.It is a food chain.We cannot do anything in it.
hahahahahahahahahahaha...wait your not joking?
Well, yes plants have the same sort of system as us, but they do not have hearts or brains, etc. It has been proved from numerous tests that animals have feelings (duh, i know!) but tests and research on plants have come to this conclusion-plants do not have feelings. Besides, there isnt much left for vegys to eat is there???
You are a meat eater I bet! If U eat meat U are eating dead carcass.. If you eat something dead
you are eating death are U not? You Are What U Eat! Haven't U heard that?
Plants are not moving critters they are stationery plants. The Bible says: I Have give ye herbs and fruits bearing seeds let be thy meat. Genius Chapter 1 Versus. 29
We have to eat something plants. Are we suppose to exist on air? Maybe we would if the evil hadn't conned Adam and Eve into partaking of the forbidden tree! Also plants don't have brains like animals or people! To say a plant is like people that could be comparatively like saying a rock is like a tree! You're mixing apples and oranges!
You kill less plants by eating them directly,by cycling food through livestock you lose 96% percent of the calories that you put into it.Animals raised for foods in the U.S. use of half of all the water used in the U.S. You can feed 100 kids rice,or only four of them meat.The least efficient plant food is tens times efficient as the most efficient animal food.The rate of repetitive stress injury for slaughterhouse employees is 35 times higher than it is for those with other manufacturing jobs,Human Rights Watch says "Meatpacking is the most dangerous job in America".For every acre of land plowed down for urban development,seven acres are cut down to grow food for animals or for grazing land for animals.If everyone in the U.S. reduced their meat consumption by 10%,it would free up enough land to grow food for 100 million people(there are about 20 million starving).Livestock in the US produce 20 times the excrement of the entire US population.If everyone in the U.S. went vegan,we could cut our imports on oil by 60%.Methane is one of the four greenhouse gasses that contributes to the environmental trend known as global warming. The 1.3 billion cattle in the world produce one fifth of all the methane emitted into the atmosphere.The direct and hidden costs of soil erosion and runoff in the US, mostly attributable to cattle and feed crop production, is estimated at $44 billion a year.Feeding the average meat-eating American requires 3-1/4 acres of land per year. Feeding a person who eats no food derived from animals requires only 1/6 acre per year. A scientist, reporting in the industry publication Confinement, calculated in 1976 that the planet's entire petroleum reserves would be exhausted in 13 years if the whole world were to take on the diet and technological methods of farming used in the U.S. So not only are killing more plants than I am,you are also using up tons of water,you are contributing to the killing of animals(26 billion),you are contributing to deforestation,you are contributing to world hunger,you are contributing to soil erosion,you are contributing to global warming,you are contributing to workers' injuries,you are contributing to enviromental pollution,and you are contributing to the war for oil.All of that for what,your own tasebuds?
I am only answering to waste your time, because I know you will read this. However, I am not wasting my time because I hope I can educate someone.
Plants do not have a central nervous system. They do not know pain and suffering or losing a loved one, as animals do.
Plants only react to "predators" or people trying to hurt them either by releasing a poison or having some sort of chemical reaction. Others, like roses, simply have thorns.
The whole concept or idea of vegetarian/veganism does not revolve around not eating animals... We don't think it's wrong to eat animals. We think it's wrong to treat them badly and then eat them. At least let them live freely and long and happily before ending their life. We're about lessening their suffering and they only way to do that is by not eating meat. Vegetarians save over 1.5million animals each year (over 100 animals each) - that means less suffering ...in the millions!
With plants though, you don't have to rip most of them out of their roots to eat. So they will grow back more fruits, etc. But I don't want to get into that because what you are actually asking is targeted to fruitarians who basically only eat fruits and leaves as they can take them off a plant or tree without harming them, contrary to vegetables with roots...
First of all, not all vegetarians avoid meat for moral reasons. Plants are healthy, meat isn't. There's not much more to it. For many plants, you don't have to kill the plant in order to eat the fruit or vegetable. And furthermore, scientists have no evidence that plants have brains or feelings of any type like animals do.
The cows and chickens and lambs are going to be brutally slaughtered anyway, vegetarians, so you may as well just eat it!
thats so silly. My PLANTS dont die when they produce fruit or veg. For example, I have a cucumber vine. If I pick one today, tomorrow there will be two more in its place-the plant remains alive. Havent you ever seen a live fruit or veg plant? Have you been to first grade science yet? If so, you would know that plants generate MANY edible parts, and the plant stays alve. If the fruit was left unpicked, it would rot on the vine, killing the plant. It gives up its gifts gladly. Now, tell me, have you ever seen a cow, pig, chicken, or turkey do that? Na, didn't think so. Plants do not have a central nervous system, a brain, and warm eyes and a beating heart. Try a basic elementary eduction-then you wouldn't ask something so stupid. And I assume you eat fruit and veg along with your meat, so does that just make you totally sadistic? Kill it all?
Plants have no brain and are not made to live in tiny cramped living quarters until they are slaughtered. Grow up.
I am going to cry over every meal from now on.
No. But I do feel sorry that you asked such an unoriginal question.
Here is a list of some questions that have been asked repeatedly. Please avoid. :
? Why don't you feel sorry for plants?
? How do you feel about animals that eat other animals?
? Don't you know that you are eating an unhealthy diet?
? God made animals for us to eat. So why don't you eat them?
? Why are vegetarians picky eater?
? Why do I have to make a vegetarian options for my friends, when they don't make a meat option for me?
? Is chicken meat?
plants don't feel pain
but as for that, I only eat fruit, really (www.fruitarian.com)
fruit is not alive, it is somthing the plant has given us
and it is perfect in every way.
there are diferent types of fruits, nuts, seeds, tomatoes, bell peppers, some spices, avacados, eggplants, and rice are biologicly fruit. so I do get my protein and calcium from nuts and seeds, and also eat my fruit-veggies. mostly thou, my diet is made up of berries, bananas, citris, apples, etc.
nah we know you are BS ing
YAY! It's been AT LEAST 15 minutes since the last "innovative and esoteric" person asked this question! We almost thought it would never appear again. But, we knew we always had the other 1000 times it's been asked to go back and look upon.
Rather than waste your time bugging and harassing people who hurt no one, why not go fight for something worthwhile? There's a genocide in Darfur. Iraq veterans are coming back to no income, no healthcare, and no jobs. AIDS affects something like 60% of the population in Africa. Homeless children are starving to death RIGHT HERE in the US.
Just seems like your priorities are off.
The answer (so that I don't get violated by losers) is that plants
A. Are not sentient
B. Have no central nervous system
C. Do not scream when tortued and killed
But, if you think that all life is equal, why do you not eat humans? Why do you not eat your dog? Why do you not eat slugs?
i feel so bad man, i wish those plant don't have to die for me to live, oh well, better the plant then some animals with flesh and blood, brain and no one to save them.but me.
No, I really don't care at all. Be a Vegetarian. If you are looking in to becoming Vegan take a look at this link. http://www.vegan.org
