Where is your proof?
Proof is unnecessary as vegetarianism is a religion. This wouldn't be so bad
but for the fact that most seem to want to convert us all. They claim it is
cruel and unnatural to kill other living creatures for food. This is mighty
hypocritical since plants are living creatures certainly have feelings.
Experiments have been done with plants showing that when classical music is played near
them and/or they are spoken to with a gentle, soothing tone on a daily basis
-- they thrive.  Shouting and loud hard rock music on the other hand have a
detrimental effect on the plants' health.  I would say that it's most cruel to
kill our sensitive veggies -- after all, they do not posess legs and have no
chance to escape big, bad, evil humans. The very least a vegetarian could do to
make up for all the senseless slaughter of innocent veggies is to at least
stop walking on grass.
