Take a look at three of my little beetroots (photo from my miniDV, because nobody has yet donated me a still camera). The one on the right is three days old, while the other two have been sticking their heads up for about a week now. I’ve been vegetarian for about seven years, but recently switched back to letting corporations kill poor defenseless animals for my food, mainly because I’m too stupid to stick to a proper balanced vegetarian diet. It was either me or the animals, and because I’m only human, of course I chose myself. But once these little babies grow up, I don’t think I’ll be able to eat them either. Sure, plants don’t have a brain that we know of, but they still deserve a life on this beautiful planet. What makes them any different? Don’t forget that while human beings are killers at the top of the food chain, almost every other animal on the way down sits atop it’s own killing food chain. Aside from the few carnivorous or poisonous plants out there, how are the flora of Earth going to stake their claim, especially with so much killing going on? If this world were by design, it’s a pretty flawed design. Something to ponder while munching on beetroot.
