By the way, if anyone's feeling bad about eating plants because they are consuming a form of life... Let's not forget the simple, but sometimes overlooked fact that fruits and vegetables were designed by the plant's intelligence to be consumed. If any more intelligent creature doesn't pluck them and consume them to spread the seeds, the fruit/veggie will be disconnected from the plant and sent to the ground, where the insects and other "lower" creatures could eat it. And if even they don't eat it, even "lower" creatures such as microbes will consume it. Life's tossing a ball of love at Life, and someone's gotta catch it! haha
