This is a question that I meditate on often but can't find any answer.

Huh evil.. uh Big word here ...A number of studies have shown that plants feel pain, and vegetables are picked and often eaten while still alive. Animal rights activists with their blabla (most of the time ( religious belief motivation) but has anyone ever protested for vegetable rights?

Here are ten things plants do that look pretty damn smart :

  1. Plants communicate with insects
  2. Plants have memories
  3. Plants create communication networks
  4. Plants grow differently in response to sound
  5. Plants measure time
  6. Plants know up from down
  7. Plants know who is family and who isn't
  8. Plants warn each other about approaching enemies
  9. Plants use camouflage.
  10. Plants are escape artists

@Nakedmind : Good arguments. I've condensed your answer to the bullet points and referenced the source. It's much neater this way :)

How is it evil? Plants have life too just like moricien said. If killing animals is evil because they are living then eating veg and fruit is evil too. Besides you aren't giving any valid points as to why eating meat is so bad.

SO you mean eating meat is not evil? Prove it. Plants are not conscious, they react. Animals have feelings. That's why non-veg people are said to lack empathy.

"That's why non-veg people are said to lack empathy." I answered it 3 times I think.

Dude, you always have a problem with meat?? Why?? Fruits and vegetables have life equally, then killing them is "lack of empathy and also killing them "for your taste" is EVIL!!! Stop eating man!! bahh...

Is it a proven fact that eating meat is 'evil' as you say?

Killing animals for your taste-buds IS evil!

To be honest I don't have any problem with a person's PERSONAL dietary choice unless they start to impose it on me. I do not feel the need to apologise for the fact that I love eating chiken, beef, etc.

I do not find eating meat to be 'evil'.

Lack of empathy is evilness.
