I don't think you understand how this works... Plant will grow and die no matter what, and it's okay if we use them while they are still living as long as we are doing so sustainably. Both vegetarians and omnivores have to eat them, whether animal or not. As far as sustainability in growing plants, we're doing pretty good right now, so that isn't really a argument/concern right now.

* gestures at the comment section and the amount of down votes vegans are getting and the upvotes "FOUND THE VEGAN" is getting* "Everyone's choices should be respected."

Although true that if anyone decides to have a baby, eating meat would be essential for their survival, but right now that is not a concern of mine. I do have substitutes and protein can be found in many more places than you'd expect, though.

We can't categorize humans as a species though. Many of us have different beliefs on not only what we eat but also on religion, politics, and even marriage. I do understand that "by nature" we are supposed to eat meat but I not only do not like the taste of meat, but I also do not like how animals are treated to get that meat.

Just because other animals eat other animals doesn't mean we have to. We also kill them in a inhumane manner, letting them suffer before they die.

Congrats. (I'm vegetarian)

Everyone was saying that I can't take a joke about veganism/vegetarianism. I guess you could say that this was me proving that notion wrong.

Welp, I'll see you with grey skin, a bald head, a horrifically skinny body, a bionic arm and nearly dead soon. You can see how well it worked out for that guy
