Occasionally.
Ok so... plants are living but it's okay to eat them as long as you respect them.
What about jellyfish? http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/jellyfish
Or worms? (also edible)
Where do we draw the line, and why?
Is a plant's life much less worthy than a jellyfish, for example?
Jellyfish and worms belong to the kingdom of fauna. I draw the line between animals and plants, because animals are the closest to the physical structure of mine. They have a more or less well developed neural system. Plant cells are different from those of animals (and humans). As I said, it's only the choice of lesser evil. And yes, respect is essential.
