Question by javi_g956 on "Veganism":

it seems like every conversation i have with my brother always come back to my being a vegan. He try to tell me that everything is alive. saying that if i dont eat other living beings then why am I eating plants, cause they alive too. But then im like" its the same, you're comparing flesh&bone to leaves&stems ", but thats as far as i get. Any ideas? You know something that'll make sense and put'im in his place. I meant to say its NOT the same, typed to fast. we argue because we are brothers.

I agree with your brother and here is my why, and maybe you can shed some light on it- vegans won't eat any animal byproducts and I was told by one that they won't drink milk because it was meant for a baby cow, they won't eat unfertilized eggs because they are suppose to be baby chickens, etch... but animals eat plants so isn't eating plants wrong? I don't mean this as an insult I really am wondering about it. Why do you and your brother argue about your eating habits anyway...what does it really matter What reasons would they be?
