i don't really know why im argueing, i too eat meat... but vegans i don't think really truly think about the fact that a plant is life too. i'd rather kill a cow, than kill our oxygen source... we already kill it off enough with paper and many other products that use plants...

Wilting isn't body langauge, it's a biological response. I never said plants weren't alive. I promise you that vegans are quite aware that plants are alive. For one, meat eaters will never let us forget!

Fruitarian - What is Fruitarianism?

I shouldn't say most because i haven't talked to every single one but in my limited experience, that is the consensus.

Right! Thanks. Always forget names. There's so many branches of everything these days.

sorry but thats just funny right there.. DON"T CALL ME THAT IM A CARNIVORE GOT ME!

Sorry but you aren't a carnivore. You are an omnivore, as am I along with every other human. Carnivore isn't a dietary distinction, it's a biological species concept. Humans are omnivores because we are adapted to eat plants and animals. Cats are carnivores because they adapted to eat meat and require it to survive. Deer are herbivores because they are adapted to eating only plants.

Let's just say we're chemoheterotrophs.

That works but it's a bit more vague than I usually prefer.

I wish you the best of luck and it's been lovely knowing you.

Oh btw you would still be an omnivore. I don't eat meat but I am an omnivore as is every other human being. It doesn't matter what you choose to eat, it's what our bodies have adapted to consume that matters.

Okay here's a question, and it's important to me. Have you ever had a vegan alternative to ice cream cake?

Firstly, what's wrong with ice cream cake?

Second, I doubt Knoxbox is actually serious. Good as meat is, you still need vegetables to be healthy.

And I don't think plants feel pain. I don't think they have nerves. Lots of things are alive but not sentient. Do you feel guilty washing your hands or spraying Lysol?
