I find this really refreshing.  Someone who actually connects that the
plant has to die for you to eat it.

I don't mind vegetarians who are in it for the health reasons, but the
ones who are all moralistic about it just annoy me.  Hello, something
still had to die for you to eat, it just didn't scream.

Reminds me of the time I had a vegetarian roommate.  She bought a
vegetable peeler.  I held it up in checkout and said "Kindof makes a
stun hammer look humane, don't it?".  She almost cried.
