Oh god. Did you not find this same question asked a million times when you tried to post this one? http://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=AtduOWyIDQRk9KtHrri4QXwjzKIX;_ylv=3?ps=1&p=plants&pn=&scope=&mc=396545367&mc=396546874&fltr=_en&tab=0&asktime=&st=1&cp=1&tp=43&tnu=424
1. Take a middle school biology class and educate yourself on nervous systems.
2. The animals you eat consume farrr more plants than I ever will, so I'm still doing the least harm. You lose.
3. Veganism isn't about being a martyr and dying for your cause. We don't avoid things just to avoid them. There's a REASON.

Yeah, like it really hurts a carrot when it's pulled out of the ground. Please. Like we haven't gotten bashed over the head with this idiotic argument dozens of times before. It's right up there with wisenheimers asking if we eat animal crackers.
Besides, I'm not a vegan because I love animals, but because I hate plants. /sarcasm

Every person eats plants, a person who is vegan is saving plants by not eating animals. Animals need to consume plants and feed in order to survive and by eating an animal you are wasting resources. It takes less plants to just go directly to the human for consumption than to be fed to an animal for a couple years(like a cow) than have it slaughtered to be fed to humans, when the land used to grow its feed could have been cultivated to grow food to go straight to human hands to eat.

Well humans were created as herbivores and are meant to eat plants, according to the Bible, God said that plants are here for us to eat. If vegans don't eat plants then there isn't really anything else for them to eat. Vegetables aren't tortured at vegetables factory farms either, so there's nothing wrong with eating plants.

They are saving as many lives as they can, without sacrificing their own. Good enough for me.
you also have to think about if you consider plants on an equal plane with animals. Plants are very very different.

Plants are not conscious. They cannot suffer.
Veganism is about respect for all animals, not all life

well I as a matter of fact am on the journey towards becoming a BREATHATARIAN. im not kidding either it takes years and years but the human body can be trained to live off of just air it starts with veganism,then being a fruitarian (just eating fruits,cuz thats how it should be) then eventually your body can adjust to living offf of the air you breath.its true.im not joking look it up.

Would you have the vegans eat nothing and die?

Plants have no nervous system, feelings, brain, or mind. I think it's okay.
