You treat every human differently than every other human.

But, presumably, you don't torture, murder or eat some of them.

How do your ethics grapple with the fact that plants have sophisticated chemical communications systems, even sentience? How can you sleep at night after hearing the cry of the watercress or the shrieking of the mutilated celery stalk, the silent scream of the asparagus sliced off its Mother Earth?

Well, you clearly donтАЩt know what тАЬfactтАЭ means. Plants arenтАЩt sentient, despite so many spurious attempts to blur the linesтАФsuch as calling chemical reactions тАЬcommunications.тАЭ

I'm kidding.

I'm not surprised someone who advertises his dietary habits in the context of a political discussion wouldn't play.

A sanctimonious vegetarian. Who woulda guessed?

And yet sanctimonious vegetarians remain far less common than petulant flesh-eaters butthurt by the very notion that others might try to be morally better.

Never mind that calling me sanctimonious is really just a desperate grasping attempt to maintain the belief that *youтАЩre* somehow morally superior.

IтАЩm not surprised you failed to notice that I only mentioned my veganism in response to someone who brought up animal productsтАФand that, unlike you, I didnтАЩt begin trolling or attacking them out of petulant butthurt rage.
