A Vegan's Worst Nightmare

Switzerland has always been known for its ability to get along with everyone. The people are kind and friendly. And, from what I can see here, they are constantly looking for ways to be kinder and friendlier.

Apparently, the Swiss are seriously looking into the concept of plants’ rights. You know, people have rights, animals now have rights, and so why not plants? Our green friends are our fellow inhabitants on the planet aren’t they? They have prepared a report called The Dignity of Living Beings with Regards to Plants. They are using big words like plant dignity and biocentric moral view. You can read about it here.

So everyone grab hands. You on the right, grab that tree branch. You on the left, take a hold of that fern frawn. Now sway with the music as we sing. . . All we are s-a-y-i-n-g, is give peas a chance.

Feel the love? Feel the connectedness?

Me neither.

I agree with the guy that you linked to, what kind of culture are we coming to when people feel that plants have rights, but unborn babies do not? Maybe I lived in Bellingham too long though, because I do feel guilty throwing away a plant that is not totally dead yet...

So....what the heck are we suppose to eat?? But, being in the fertilizer business, this could be a "Boon" for me! Go Corn!
