Because plants are meant to be food. The point is silly because it's perfectly easy to live and be a vegetarian but no one would live if they ate nothing. Senseless.

Plants are food for herbavores.

Prey are food for predators.

Humans have many characteristics of predators. We look like predators, we think like predators, we act like predators.

Some humans are in fact almost strict carnivores. Most of the rest of us are omnivores. Some are strict vegatarians, usually in select environments, or supplimented by modern transportation, and food processing.

Why are plants meant to be food? They are living, just as sentient beings are.

But at the same time couldn't the opposite be true as well? That it's perfectly easy to live and be a carnivore only?
