the point is: you don't need to kill plants and fungi. we wait for beans, corn and wheat to almost die before we harvest it. no tree that produces fruits needs to be ripped off. a lot of vegetables can be harvested without killing the plant, if we cared. as well fungi, as the mushroom is relative to an apple is to a tree.

it's really impressive reading arguments of this level on a place like this... and even worse: justifications at the ballpark of "i can't commit to veganism, its too boring/difficult"

edit: boring is to work on a livestock place killing hundreds of animals per day and dealing with the smell of blood, screams of animals not killed at the first air-shot & the high paying salary that probably allows plenty of exotic seasoning and vegetables to be cooked after work; if you aren't going to suicide, because rates of this type on those workers are pretty high
