To play devil&#x27;s advocate:<p>I see from another comment that you are Vegan, so how did you make the distinction of what living things are acceptable to eat, and which are not? Plants are just as alive as mammals, fish or insects; so if it isn&#x27;t &#x27;life&#x27; that you are preserving, what exactly is it? some idea of consciousness? intelligence?  How does something like Honey fit into your view of this issue?<p>Further, how do you justify your greater reliance than meat eaters on migrant underpaid labor?  Is human suffering for your nutrition preferable to animal suffering?<p>Isnt this just a game of semantic false moral superiority until there is a nutrition source that is completely death and suffering free?
