How do you justify (ethically) consuming vegetables and vegetable products when you don't need to?

I mean honestly, PETA be damned. You can get everything you need from animal and animal products... Hell! The animals themselves even eat vegetables one way or another, so you can't justify that you're not getting your veggies!

Honestly, even plants have feelings too... have you ever made a plant listen to Kanye West?

I think I'm going to go completely carnivore.

Yes actually, my venus flytrap ate itself to end the suffering.

The poor plants. They can't even defend themselves. Us horrible humans raise them in farms with practically no living space only to be pulled apart and eaten. Can you imagine what it is like to have your body torn into bits? Some of them are not even allowed to be protected pesticides and get mutilated by insects. This is all just so they can be sold as "organic foods" at higher prices. It's so awful! :(

Well, you can't eat meat exclusively, you need a little veggie for the fibre or you'll have constipation or shit blood.

How can people justify NOT eating meat when it's so dammed tasty?

Vegetables on the other hand, are bland, full of fibrous nasties, and dem nasty vitamins...<ugh!>

I wonder if there is going to be real conversations in this thread or if it will turn into a complete parody thread and eventually locked.

Just deep fry the veggies and they'll taste fine.

I walk around killings plants all day for fun. It makes me feel big. Then I eat a Bambi burger and wash it down with some baby seal fat.

Cheese and milk can take care of that, they don't come from plants so your diet remains pure.

it's pretty difficult when it comes to not consuming vegetables and vegetable products. even animals are made of plants or other plant-consuming animals. somwhere along the line, plants are still abused.

i'm only able to exist because i naturally absorb any necessary nutrients directly from the atmosphere.

Veggies help you poop; that's all the justification I need.

Regularity = win.

Plants don't have brains so that means they aren't intelligent, so I can eat them. Animals OTOH have brains so I can't eat them because mice and dolphins are more intelligent then us.

Props to whoever gets that reference :)
