Frankly, I would have just as hard a time eating my photosynthesizing buddies who are beyond-slaughterhouse easy pickins ... cause they can't even move out of the way!
Vegetation is alive. We kill it to eat it. Yes, we often don't kill the entire organizism to eat part of it ..... but we must cause a bit of death for almost every bite we take to stay alive - - whether we bite Bobby Brocolli, Freddy Fish, or Calvin Cow.
Oh, I know there are tons of really good reasons why so-called higher organisms such as fish or mammals should not be killed for food. And, well, I agree with them. I truly hope to be completely vegetarian .... in my next life.
But in this one, I want to question why we refer to more familar, more anthropomorphic life as "higher" forms of life.
