I suggest you watch Farm, Inc. about the deplorable conditions our carrots and broccoli are facing. Maybe it'll get you to change your mind before you eat anymore vegetables.
Meateaters try too damn hard to make excuses for killing animals.
i dont think anyone is using this as an excuse. plants while alive know if an insect is munching on them. usually humans cut the plant and kill it before we eat it.
also nobody makes excuses for why they eat animals. meat is delicious.
