Not only animals, but also plants are living beings with their own soul/consciousness.

If you believe that a vegan lifestyle is helpful to reach a higher level of consciousness, you must realize that you'll reach an even higher consciousness level if you stop eating plants and adapt a Jain lifestyle:

Quote:
The Jain diet excludes most root vegetables, as they believe this destroys entire plants unnecessarily. If you eat apples, you do not destroy whole trees, but for root vegetables, whole plants are uprooted.
PS. This is NOT a recommendation, only a thought provoking remark.

Can somebody answer this question?
