Anonymous asked: My dad always says sarcastically about veganism, "So why do you eat vegetables and fruit? They're living things too!" I have no idea how to respond. what do you think the difference is behind eating animals and eating plants? I do feel like they also have consciousness.

Plant life is just as conscious as anything else in this existence except that compared to animal life plants don’t cry out in horror or bleed rivers of blood, therefore making it more humane to ingest, etc.
