Humans have to eat and with the exception of a few minerals like salt, everything edible to humans is alive on some level. Vegansisn is making an ethical choice about reducing what causes the most pain fear and suffering in another. If I were to develop cancer, a tape worm or a virus should I also allow those living things to thrive as well or does "Uh, now what?" also apply to antibiotics?

How about I just get to eat meat because I consider it far more humane to be more efficient about proteins? And eggs and cheeses are more efficient with all sorts of aminos.

As much as I respect vegans I also don't agree with their approach. I am of the opinion (as is most biologists) that we are omnivores.

What does this have to do with anything? This is bringing efficiency to an ethics fight.

I'm not fighting. I find it annoying to have to eat 16 times the amount of normal peanut butter as one chicken breast. It's pure math.
