First off... there is MUCH evidence of vegetation (especially trees) having what could be considered "awareness" of their environment... they know when their neighbors are in despair, like during a forest fire for instance.

Listen, I really don't care who eats meat or not - there are a few things even I find repulsive, albeit rare! lol -- so how can I say anything? The point is, I don't mind if someone disagrees with me... or most of the Western World for that matter ... just as long as it's not hipocritical....

I still didn't get an explanation of tofu dogs or veggie burgers, btw
