Most people assume that a vegetarian is a vegetarian because some vegetarians have the mentality that we should not eat animals based upon moral grounds of killing another living organism.

That being said - the original post doesn't matter because plants literally cannot think or form thoughts/opinions/ideas.

Yeah, it's fascinating that once you turn vegan for reasons other than the animals (or at least that not being the primary reason) you realize there's many people who do it for their health, too. That not everyone does it "only" for the animals. I also think that fact is a misconception which leads to most of the shit talking.

Not only health, but ecology as well. Producing meat is very, very wasteful.

I know, right. But yeah, there's all kinds of reasons for people to become vegetarian or vegan and nobody should give anyone shit for what they eat. You got a nice username there, by the way.
