Sorry, but I find it really offensive that you called vegan 'fake'. Not here to cause drama, but I can't help defending myself here.

Yes, plants are living things, but the goal of most vegans is to prevent the harm or animals - fruitarians(yes I suck at spelling XD) are more concerned with plant life. Also, plants don't have nervous systems, so they do have responses to damage, but don't actaully FEEL pain. Not to mention, vegan diets do also help plant life, becuase many more plants are 'killed' in the process of feeding livestock(mostly cows) than plants are killed in feeding a vegan.

Oh yeah, and many plants are almost 'meant' to be eaten. Plants like tomatoes, persay, have seeds, and for the plant to strive, an animal would eat the tomato off of the plant and spit out the seed, helping the plant to produce more tomatoes(again, my spelling), showing that eating the fruit produced, in most cases, is part of the plant's regrowth cycle.

One more thing: in your comment, you're pretty much saying that the life of a plant is equivalent to the life of, for example, a horse. So your argument pretty much says that plucking a raspberry off of a bush, eating it, and spitting out the seeds so it can regrow is the equivalent of(or as morally unacceptable as) taking the life of a horse and eating he/she. Just saying.

No shade or hate here, I'm just saying that before you go around calling vegans fake, consider all of the above.
