If you are a vegan not because of health issues but because you don't want to harm any living being, what will you answer if they ask you "But plants are living beings too"?...

If the argument is that a vegan is someone who doesn't eat living beings, then that makes an omnivore someone who does eat living beings. So why don't omnivores eat babies? They're even easier to grow than vegetables.
Everybody has to draw a line somewhere. There's no reason to be a Jaininst or a Cannibal; there's a middle ground too.
