So doesn't she realize that the atoms in her body were once part of
another animal's body? Even if she eats only plants and her mom ate
only plants while she was pregnant with her there's no way of knowing
whether or not a plant is carrying an atom or molecule from some
animal that could have died hundreds, thousands, or millions of years
ago.



My point exactly and that goes for any other element in your body like iron,
magnesium, potassium etc. If you really want to get romantic you can
imagine those elements all being part of a star at one time. It is complete
insanity what some of those idiots do in pursuit of their bizarre quest for
absolute perfection and food purity. It is one thing to do it to yourself
though and quite another to inflict it on a victim that has no means to
protect themselves.
