Here's where I'd like to insert the friendly reminder that all plants are living beings. You, as a living being must eat other living beings. Plants are intelligent and pass information to eachother via the web of mycelium and other unknown ways. Morality about eating only living plants, vs eating meats has always been flawed. As were the arguments about eating pescatarian and only eating fish because they "are not intelligent and can't feel pain." Don't fool yourself. You are eating living beings and you are not on some goofy moral high horse.
