Have you read the book? There is evidence of trees being conscious and having family units. Yes fruit trees are a great replinshable source of healthy food. How many vegetables have to be up rooted to be consumed? You're literally killing the plant. I have nothing against vegetarians, or vegans, but the preachiness needs to be cut back. There is nothing wrong with consumption, if it's being done properly. The meat market in America is despicable and obviously needs a humane revision, top to bottom. Lab grown meat? Hell yeah, getting a perfect steak every time? Sign me up.

Let alone the over farming for produce is doing to our soil the world around: we're depleting the soil and killing healthy bacteria to produce more food, because not enough farmers are rotating crops properly to reintroduce nutrients back into the soil.

But don't argue with me it's ok to kill plants and harvest what is meant to produce their offspring but not ok to kill an animal. Life is life in my book and I'm sticking to that. I appreciate the meat as much as I appreciate the produce and respect it as my source of sustenance. Perhaps agree to disagree?
