This is our vegetarian for both questions and ideas about vegetarian lifestyle or if you want to discuss philosophically and morally about vegetarism. At the forum you can also find and post your vegetarian recipes as well as links to your favourite vegetarian sites.
	For the vegetarian forum Hit the picture	�

This is a new site, it still needs much more on it. But for this i need feedback. So it depends on you if this becomes something diffrent or just an other common homepage. Lets come together, lets organise. Not with an organisation but just with ideas.

Use the forum to let your steam out or to find a answer for a problem or question.

Within the main criteria of not eating animal or fish products that are derived from slaughter, vegetarianism can also fall into these categories:

Lacto-ovo-vegetarian : eats both dairy products and eggs. This is the most common type of vegetarian diet.
Lacto-vegetarian : eats dairy products but not eggs.
Ovo-vegetarian : eats eggs but not dairy products.
Vegan : does not eat dairy products, eggs or any other animal or fish product.

It would be hypocritical IF the same criteria or morally relevant attributes that are used to justify animal rights also applied to plants. The criteria cited by the AR movement are "pain and suffering" and being "subjects-of-a-life". An assessment of how plants measure up to these criteria leads to the following conclusions.

First, our best science to date shows that plants lack any semblance of a central nervous system or any other system design for such complex capacities as that of conscious suffering from felt pain.
Second, plants simply have no evolutionary need to feel pain. Animals being mobile would benefit from the ability to sense pain; plants would not. Nature does not gratuitously create such complex capacities as that of feeling pain unless there is some benefit for the organism's
survival.

If we can bring ourselves to momentarily assume (falsely) that plants feel pain, then we can easily argue that by eliminating animal farming, we reduce the total pain inflicted on plants, leading to the ironic conclusion that plant pain supports the AR position.
