Do you agree with Richard Dawkins?

Sure, the source is called AG 101, you need nutrients to grow vegetables. Or is this a point of contention between us that must be substantiated? Do you think they grow on happy thoughts and wishful thinking?

Now, where are we sourcing our nutrients from? Speaking of "sources", you keep asking for sources but the only "source" you've been forthcoming with, in support of -your- argument, is your definition of a term with very little in the way of elaboration. Maybe I was wrong when I assumed you were looking for a serious conversation?

You need nutrients to grow vegetables. That's why we have developed crop rotation. To feed many of the animals you eat, we need to grow things for them to eat.

You still haven't demonstrated your claim that a vegetarian diet causes more unnecessary harm and suffering than one based on meat.
