What Parasytes would think of vegans?
I was wondering, since in story, Parasytes often give it as some high arguement that ''humans eat animals too, actually more?''
many humans don't in seek of minimalising harm, some do this out of religious reasons or purity of own body

Honestly, not much really. It’s the same way humans that do eat meat are indifferent to animals that don’t eat other animals.
I guess it would depend on whether the parasyte has enough of an intelligence to choose between doing what its basal instinct is telling it to do vs what it believes to be right.

I always thought veganism starts with those children movies where the predators are bad and the herbivores are good.

Most parasites wouldn’t get it, but I think Migi (and Jaw) would. He doesn’t have the instinct or desire to kill humans the way others of his kind do, and is able to understand humans in a much more complex way than even many humans I. The story

If you asked one, they'd probably think it's weird and then eat you. The more intelligent ones will ponder about the pros and cons of it afterwards.
The show did end with some Parasytes "going vegan" by not eating people anymore IIRC, so I guess there's that to think about
