...and btw, if you are concerned for plants, fruits and yourself you should become vegan. the animals that produce your meat, milk etc. consume much more plants than you would need for yourself.

Casey is quite a man! One thing that is wrong tho is that the title reads "became vegan." No one becomes vegan. We are all vegan. In every human mind and heart we know deep down that we need to live healthy, peaceful, respectful, compassionate lives. But, over the ages the minds of man have been corrupted to enslave others, to brutalize and torture the innocent and derive pleasure from it, and thus humans most often become carnists (human meat-eating dogma believers), we do not become vegan.

OH MY GOD. I loved this man before I knew he was vegan. Now that I know he is also a vegan, I am pretty much sure I have to marry him. LOL

Total BSand one of the most idiotic statements in You tube history. Plants can neither feel pain nor experience emotions like all sentient beings do. No brain or nervous system.

Also,eating fruit does no harm to the plant. Even eating most vegetables does not "kill" the plant. If you cut off a head of lettuce, cabbage etc, the plant will continue to grow until the end of it's life cycle. Comments like this show just how criminally stupid some people really are.

Eating plants is necessary to survival.

Taking the beautiful life of a being, purely for a five minute meal, isn't.

Nothing on this Earth asked to be born and nothing on the Earth expects to die.

Plants lack a nervous system, so there's no place for them to experience a pain response. And why would FRUITS have a pain response to begin with? Plants produce fruits for the express purpose of attracting something to eat them, thereby dispersing the seeds. That's the whole point.

[mudda snirr]

hey calm down.

I think most of us know that fruits and vegetables might feel pain.

Of course, suffering belongs to live but beeing vegan is just about decreasing suffering, as much as you are able or willing to.

just because other people kill others i dont have to do the same. where would this world be if everybody would be so fatalistic?

I could insult or hurt someone but i choose not to. i could let others kill animals for me but i choose not to. what is hypocratic about that?

[Maxx Miltonz]

DID YOU VEGANS KNOW THAT FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FEEL PAIN?

YOU SAY IT'S EVIL TO KILL ANIMALS BUT YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM TAKING THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AROUND THE WORLD?

A number of studies have shown that plants feel pain, and vegetables are picked and often eaten while still alive.

JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN’T SEE THE PAIN THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS NOT HAPPENING!

WAKE UP AND REALIZE THE TRUTH YOU VEGAN HYPOCRITES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
