Childhood indoctrination

[Forbinator]

And yet you still happily delegate vegetables as low life and inferior and therefore fit for your consumption?

littleendian already answered this by referring to plants' lack of a central nervous system, so repeating this argument is akin to trolling. It also offers nothing constructive to the debate, since consumption of plant life (either directly or by filtering it through an animal as you do) is necessary for survival. Unless you're advocating suicide? Again, not constructive or applicable to reality.
