Why do you people insist on killing innocent plants for food? What did they ever do to you?

Question

You selfish vegetarians!

Answer 1

Lmao, I love your question. Very ironic that you didn't say animals. Vegetarians are killing our green and oxygen faster! Someone stop them!! lmao

Answer 2

I know you're just joking, but consider this:

Farm animals eat a LOT.

It takes nearly 7 pounds of grain to make a pound of pork.

It takes 4.8 to make a pound of beef.

It takes 2.6 to make a pound of eggs.

And so on. If I were really concerned about the plight of plants (and I'm not; they have no central nervous system and therefore cannot feel pain) I'd still be better off eating a vegetarian diet because I'd be killing less of them. :p

Answer 3

Oh, so you havent graduated first grade yet? If you had, you would have been taught that veggies have no central nervous system, no brain, and no heart. I don't kill my plants when I harvest their gifts-the plant keeps on growing, and produces more good stuff. If I didnt pick it, it would rot on the vine, and that would kill the plant. I think its safe to assume that you do not live on slaughtered animals alone, and that you eat veggies and fruits too-so that means you are selfish and have a total disregard for all living things-whatever it takes to satisfy your own greed and appetite should be sacraficed. Goody for you-bet your mommy is proud of you

Answer 4

Unless you eat only fallen fruit or are a breathatarian you are responsible for far more plant deaths than I am.

Fewer plants are killed by eating them directly instead of having an intermediary eat them (they always take a large portion for themselves.)

Like anything else, cutting out the "middle man" is a good idea.

Answer 5

Yeah those poor plants... we are soooo selfish!! It's kinda like tourturing and killing innocent animals (with brains) just so I could have a nice meal, but not as bad.

Answer 6

It's called the food cycle, everybody eats plants. Its natural. Why, everything you eat is a result of plants! Animals do, and you can't control that. If not, what would you eat?

Answer 7

Yeah, watering plants and giving them sunlight and fresh air, and picking them and eating them--- then they re-grow. Yeah, ahem, that's so much worse than chasing animals around the fenced area, tying ropes around their necks, beating them over the head, slicing their noses off. stabbing them and/or shooting them, kicking them while they scream in fear of their lives, branding their bodies, cutting off their body parts while they're alive, and then killing them slowly. Then afterwards, hanging them upside down and letting the blood drip all over the place, emptying from their bodies, and skinning them and hacking up their bodies for thigh meat, rump meat, intestines, etc. and then putting each piece in your mouth and chewing it up....

We are so selfish.

Answer 8

Im not a vegetarian
but
its less messy than killing a cow

Answer 9

You kill less plants by eating them directly,by cycling food through livestock you lose 96% percent of the calories that you put into it.Animals raised for foods in the U.S. use of half of all the water used in the U.S. You can feed 100 kids rice,or only four of them meat.The least efficient plant food is tens times efficient as the most efficient animal food.The rate of repetitive stress injury for slaughterhouse employees is 35 times higher than it is for those with other manufacturing jobs,Human Rights Watch says "Meatpacking is the most dangerous job in America".For every acre of land plowed down for urban development,seven acres are cut down to grow food for animals or for grazing land for animals.If everyone in the U.S. reduced their meat consumption by 10%,it would free up enough grain to feed 100 million people.Livestock in the US produce 20 times the excrement of the entire US population.If everyone in the U.S. went vegan,we could cut our imports on oil by 60%.Methane is one of the four greenhouse gasses that contributes to the environmental trend known as global warming. The 1.3 billion cattle in the world produce one fifth of all the methane emitted into the atmosphere.The direct and hidden costs of soil erosion and runoff in the US, mostly attributable to cattle and feed crop production, is estimated at $44 billion a year.Feeding the average meat-eating American requires 3-1/4 acres of land per year. Feeding a person who eats no food derived from animals requires only 1/6 acre per year. A scientist, reporting in the industry publication Confinement, calculated in 1976 that the planet's entire petroleum reserves would be exhausted in 13 years if the whole world were to take on the diet and technological methods of farming used in the U.S. So not only are killing more plants than I am,you are also using up tons of water,you are contributing to the killing of animals(26 billion),you are contributing to deforestation,you are contributing to world hunger,you are contributing to soil erosion,you are contributing to global warming,you are contributing to workers' injuries,you are contributing to enviromental pollution,and you are contributing to the war for oil.All of that for what,your own tasebuds?

Answer 10

Gee whiz. I happen to notice you are made of meat. It seems you meat people were right and if we don't eat creatures made of meat they overpopulate the planet (like humans).

If g_d didn't want us to eat people why are they made of meat?

Now hold still whilst I get my fork and knife.

Answer 11

Right now, I really wish I knew a cannibal who owe'd me a favor!
