A human cannot exist without eating. That means I must eat other living things, plants, mushrooms, and animals.

If you believe all living things are conscience to an extent, like I do, then why do we draw the line at animals.

I’ve made peace with the idea that othering things have to suffer and die in order to provide for for me to survive.

That’s not to say we can’t try to reduce the suffering, but ultimately existence is suffering.




Plants don't feel pain. And, even if you want to reduce the suffering of plants, eating animal will harm more plants.
