People who believe in vegetable rights, what do they eat?

I've never heard of that but perhaps they eat organic vegetables? That's what I usually go for!0

I think this is the best possible answer but fruits have seeds and seeds contain embryos.0 -
nuts, seeds and other things that trees, bushes and plants release on their own.0

Yes, trees, bushes and plants release those things on their own but maybe their purpose is to spread the seeds.0 -
Remember Notting Hill? Was that it? The cooky (no offense, plant lovers!) relative would only eat fruits and vegetables that had fallen off or died naturally.1

I think we do not choose our food based on vegetables or animals rights. We choose to eat less meat just because it is more healthy to stay away from meat and we choose to eat more vegetables because it is more healthy. These are scientifically proven facts.2

Scientically proven facts you say? Links to these studies?2 -

No "we" don't and no they aren't.4 -

Well, I can google it but I have heard it from friends who studied about it. Do you know links to studies which oppose this?0 -

The onus is on you!1 -
that feeling when you are trying to compare plants to sentient creatures who are tortured, kept in horrible conditions their entire life, and then slaughtered.

I like your idea. That's what the discussion is for. We start a discussion to know about interesting ideas and to learn more.0 -

Who are "we"? I thought the thread was about vegetable rights.0 -

Then, there is a question, do you eat animals who are neither tortured nor kept in horrible conditions their entire life?0 -

i don't eat meat at all. But if i did, it would only be an animal which i killed with my own hands, in the wild, because i needed it's body to survive. This is talking life or death situation here. And i don't think you can "humanely" take another creatures life. If i were to do it for any reason it would have to be because it came down to me vs. them.
As it stands, this isn't the case. We aren't using all of these animals, we aren't treating them with respect or allowing them atleast to live a happy life, we are literally breeding them to live in the worst conditions and using them as a commodity. This is what i think is wrong. Not to mention the amount of waste created in the meat industry.
Do i hate people who eat meat? No. But i personally will never support an industry which i think is morally wrong. I recognize that these are sentient creatures and that supporting that industry would mean supporting the cruelty and disgusting practices currently related to big farming. Don't even get me started on the environmental effects or potential negative health effects.
The fact of the matter is as it stands there is 0 reason for me to even eat meat considering it is completely unnecessary for me to live a happy, healthy life. It is just too damn easy to NOT eat meat and NOT to support an industry which is *kitten* up majorly with the lives of other living creatures.

Very good. I give you another like. I think we should also talk more about the negative health effects. For example the meat industry puts antibiotics and hormones in chicken.0
