That's really interesting. My opinion is that by simply standing there and breathing you're destroying some kind of life form.

If you're going to be vegan, it only makes sense to me if you're doing it for health reasons.

If you're vegan because you're concerned about killing animals, then should you not also be concerned about the plant life you kill? And where do you draw the line? What about the animals that were inadvertantly killed because they don't have anywhere to live or anything to eat because their natural habitat has been paved over for that new shopping center?

Don't mean to start arguments, it's just my opinion. And I'm often wrong.
