        Speaking as a carnivore, I'd like to say that I am against the slaugh-
tering of helpless vegetables for food.  After all, a fish or a cow at least 
has a remote chance of escaping.  A potato is stuck in the ground.  

        Seriously, if you argue that it's morally or ethically wrong to kill 
animals, why isn't it wrong to kill plants?  They're not any less alive than 
animals, are they?
