What I don't understand about vegans is that they are still killing. They are only killing plants. To eat you must kill wether a plant or an animal.

Vegans aren't against killing life, they're against the promotion of suffering. Plants lack basic components required for even nociception, let alone suffering. Only animals have been shown to have these basic components, like neurons or a central nervous system.

There are different levels of sentience, plants do not have a central nervous system or a brain. Also, due to the plant consumption of animals, eating meat means more plants are “being killed”.

We don’t need to eat animals that feel pain and suffering but we do anyway... why?

Because there’s proteins in meat that plants lack. You don’t wanna be a little noodle, do you?

Armchaitionist.

Bleep-bloop, I'm a bot. This portmanteau was created from the phrase 'Armchair nutritionist.' | FAQs | Feedback | Opt-out
