    Just like you won’t, in any way whatsoever, entertain the idea that eating plants is unethical. Your convictions on the matter are so strong that you simply won’t consider that they, too, are living beings.

      When did I state that plants aren’t alive? They are not sentient. That’s a different thing. Even if they were sentient, it wouldn’t change the fact that we need to eat plants to survive. We do not need to eat animals. And we cause fewer plant deaths by eating them directly, rather than indirectly through eating organisms of higher trophic levels.

      My rejection of your argument based on its merits is not a failure to consider it.
