    Meat is literally dead bodies, which we derive sustenance from.

    Harvested plants would be considered dead (plant) bodies, so where is the difference?

    The best argument I’ve heard so far is the one around sentience, but that gets confusing too, since plants react to stimuli and grass can signal other plants it’s being eaten.

      No no. I mean if a plant is nourished by dead animals who have died near them. Or in some places where animal bodies are used in fertilizer.
