re: LSU refusing to play Alabama may be the saddest thing I've ever seen in college football

Its technically a moral decision.

Plants do not have brains or central nervous systems, but they do have complex sensory systems and respond to changes and dangers in their environment. Just because they do not react, sense and communicate in a means like fauna, does it mean they are more deserving to die prematurely for your belly?

From that perspective, it is really just choosing to kill the living and breathing lifeform that you don't hear scream, so you can sleep better at night. It is rational, but how is that for moral or ethical decision making?

FWIW: jk... IDGAF outside of the moral highground that hard-core vegans try to take.

I spent many a summer with lunches and dinners comprised solely of garden provided veggies. Love them, too, but, I wouldn't freely choose to walk away from bacon, steak and other meat that I can gnaw off of a bone like a caveman while using the canine teeth that evolution has provided me for that intended purpose.
