It is almost impossible to believe humans are such dicks.

Anything that you can pluck from the trees or plants such as
say an apple that falls to the ground or a brussel sprout is
not life and does not live.
A potato that grows roots is life and does live.

An apple that falls to the ground can be eaten with a
totally clear conscience, providing that you plant the seeds
back into the ground.

But a brussel sprout is totally different to a potato, a
potato is life and grows and lives, but a brussel sprout
once removed from the plant is not life and will not grow.
The plant however where the brussel sprout comes from is
life, but not the sprout.

Do humans really need this explaining?
Unbelievable just how stupid humans are.

Anything that can be taken from plants or trees that cannot
sustain life are OK to eat with a clear conscience.
You should not eat seeds, or any product or animal or
creature that can sustain their own life.

And being vegan is not about giving yourself a pat on the
back, it is eating what you know you can eat with a totally
clear conscience.

Milk and eggs also cause suffering to the animals and birds
concerned. These also cannot be consumed with a clear
conscience.

A vegan merely respects other life and accords life to
others, knowing full well that having a clean conscience and
eating to live rather than living to eat are far far better
than the greed and gluttony of the masses.
