[Buddha-l] Victimized vegans?

This is hilarious! Thanks for a good laugh.

============================

During my vegan days, a fellow Zen-practicing vegan friend and I got to 

talking about plants. He had just read a book about the plant kingdom and
had 

become convinced that plants are fully conscious and feel suffering as 

animals do. I asked him how he could go on eating azuki beans and rice. His 

reply was that plants actually want to be eaten. What causes them suffering 

is being overlooked by a potential eater. Untestable hypotheses are an 

indispensable tool for those who venture into obsession.
