Wow sexy body <| sep |> Oh he ' s a dogs fan ? Sweet ! <| sep |> I have decided to extrapolate this argument . It is not morally permissible to kill any life for food . Therefore I cannot kill a plant , because despite some plants being more intelligent than mammals , they are alive and I do not need to eat plants to live . But wait if I value life , living organisms , and believe morality is more than a construct of human society , then I am back to the island situation of having to eat what I ' m presented with . Yes vegetarians don ' t like the idea that plants live and that they don ' t want to die despite science cleary showing that plants fight for survival in their own way . The morality of food is oddly positioned towards mammals , but if you can feel morally wrong for eating amphibians and reptiles then please put vegetation on your list .
