Quote by: Michael1695 Well lets say an animal rights activist (and I hope one enters this forum) says its ok to eat plants because they are not conscious. Well a dead animal isnt conscious either, what if we found him dead and decided to eat him. |
If there are left-over pieces of meat that will probably get thrown away, I'll eat it because it is already dead.

Quote by: Muckraker To answer your question - scientifically speaking, plants are incapable of feeling pain. They do not have a central nervous system or a brain to process the pain data from nerves. |
That's my answer to the plant question as well.
I am no longer a vegan and I never was much of an activist, and I no longer make a fuss over eating meat (I eat fish on a regular basis). So I guess don't expect any arguments from me. Those are the responses I would have given. It's not hypocritical to be a vegan if you are set down the right path but I don't agree with things like banning the consumption of meat and never really was. Animal welfare is something I support.
