Anytime someone mentions veganism, there has to be a discussion on plants. Interesting how you suddenly care about vegetables.
Vegetables are not sentient, and even if they were, it requires fewer plants if you eat them directly instead of feeding them to an animal first for years, and then killing the animal.
I'm actually not interested in talking to you, but perhaps someone will read this and realize how absurd it is to compare chopping vegetables to slicing the throat of an animal.
Oh I am sure you are completely honest! As the good plants rights activist that you clearly are, you of course already know that it takes many more plants to raise animals for slaughter than eating them directly.
And on a more serious note: plants don't feel shit. They don't have a central nervous system to even process a concept like pain.
A kid i went to school with couldnt feel pain due to nerve damage. He loved playing knuckles but no one could beat him. So you belive if he didn't feel pain it was okay to use brass knuckle against him.
You just called me a piece of shit. I am sure you have better things to do with your life (like playing knuckles) than talking to a piece of shit.
Ah no more """arguments""" so you are going for the ad hominem huh? Good luck with that.
BTW. I am eating a big juicy plant right now.
*bigger ass than you :)
