No vegetarians can eat some animal products as long it doesn't hurt the animal itself like eggs, milk, yogurt, etc

Vegans avoid anything animal related entirely
They can also wear wool clothes and eat insects or fish, something vegans forbid too. Since insect and fish don't have a nervous system that makes them feel pain like other animals, vegetarians are ok with eating them (or maybe there's another reason I'm not aware of?)

Okay I didn't know about the wool part, interesting

Tho I've heard about the insects and that's more dividing since some vegetarians still classify them as biological, part of the animal kingdom and contradicts part of their ethnics. Y'know, anything alive, don't eat it

Plants are alive :mellow:
 
Plants are alive :mellow:
They're alive in a sense that they can develop, store information and adapt to survive their environments

But it's such a borderline and extent of the definition of alive

And like you said about the insects not having nervous systems, neither do plants so they can't feel pain and are less complex organisms compared to something like a fly

Hold on a second. Insects do have a nervous system. Plants do have a nervous system. They also both feel pain. I said that don't feel pain like us, not that don't feel pain at all. If you tear off a cockroach's head, it will still live for weeks, does that make it "not alive"?

What are you talking about? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articl... not have,to respond to environmental stimuli.

They might feel something, but I wouldn't call it pain, more so it triggers a natural alert system

It's still able to do the same stuff regular cockroaches can do due to their open circulatory system. That's like if a human loses an arm and leg. They're still alive in the sense that they can still cooperate and be active
