The example that I had in mind with the original comment was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii#Lifecycle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii#Lifecycle I'll grant that no plants come to mind that have a niche that requires them to be wholly eaten, but I still think that deciding whether to eat a plant requires totally different logic than deciding whether to eat an animal. So what's your position? Are you here to suggest that "we shouldn't eat animals" is absurd by equating it to "we shouldn't eat plants?" Or are you a vegan looking to take it a step further by not eating plants that have to die in order for you to eat them? Because I'd like to hear more about somebody who sincerely held that belief.
