Unless you're a vegan who gets all of their food free trade, ensures ethical and environmental health of every piece of produce you buy, and ensures ethical treatment of human laborers, you're no better.

Organic farming requires more farm land, encroaching on wild habitats. And organic farming still crates a massive amount of toxic runoff into water systems. Agriculture has a high rate of basically slavery for their human workers and is one of the driving industries in hiring undocumented laborers.

Believing blindly that meat eaters are the worst, is ignorant to how debilitating farming in general is to the environment. Yes, I know most farm land is for fodder, but that corn is also used for cooking oil, biodiesel. Cotton for fabric. Etc etc etc etc.

Vegans are the worst cult because they somehow believe they're better purely for not eating meat, when their environmental and ethical impact is still unsustainable.

Also, plants are capable of communication and helping out others of their own and other species. To deny their place as living organisms that deserve protection is laughable. All flora and fauna are important, and everything's a balance.

Vegans need to get off their high horse (big stack of lumber maybe as to not "abuse" the horse?) and start looking at their own impacts instead of handing the blame out to others.
