The logic there doesn't make any sense. We are claiming that you shouldn't eat species A or B. Also, I agree with Lizzie. I physically feel healthier, and also my self esteem is better. Look at a modern food pyramid, which scientists have changed due to recent scientific discoveries. Vegetables are the healthiest foods you can eat followed by fruits, followed by nuts and seeds, then somewhere down there is meats. Most scientists do believe we should eat meat, but they say without revocation that almost all Americans eat way too much meat and bread.
It was kind of hard for me to stop eating meat, but it wasn't just for health reasons. It was about learning the way the animals are mistreated, and I did it for ethical reasons. I'm not going to tell you to stop eating meat, because that never influenced me to become vegetarian, when people told me I was wrong. The only way you will become a vegetarian, or do almost anything in life for that matter, is do it of your own volition.

Species A is animals and species B is plants. Who are you to say which is more deserving of life? And Niman Ranch doesn't mistreat animals. And Niman Ranch is all I eat, so...

Who are you to say the earth is round? Do actually believe plants are more deserving of life than humans. Humans are the only species in the history of our planet that have been proven to have a consciouss mind, which means, a human is his most divine, is capable of great things like compassion.

Since this obviously can't stay on topic, I'm going to close this.

For the original post here is this:

For everyone else. You're not better than anyone because of what you eat, that goes for both sides. Plants and animals are nowhere near the same thing, stop using stupid analogies in hopes to justify your meat eating. This argument never gets anywhere because being a vegetarian is a personal choice and if you can't deal with that than grow up.

I believe that the earth is round because there is scientific, objective evidence to prove it, and it's hardly a matter of life and death. Is there any scientific, objective evidence that says animals are more worthy of life than plants?

Because plants totally have have nerves and an active sentience. I already stated this argument is bullshit, it should be dropped. Animals>plants, always. Deal with it, you're not proving anything other than you're own ignorance by running around using this as the backbone for your "why the way you eat is wrong" argument.

I never said anything about one way of eating being better. I was pointing out that there's nothing besides his own specific set of morals judging animals to be better than plants. You can use the same logic for Humans and animals. We have a superior nervous system, we should rule the earth!
