It is your believe that eating plants is more moral than animals but I could argue that like I feel sympathy for my species you feel sympathy for your kingdom or perhaps mammals I don't know. The only thing non living is a virus otherwise even bacteria and fungi are living. And other than my food and animals and beings that harm me I try to avoid killing anything be they ants spiders etc. Senseless killing is what I am against and I hate deforestation. And studies are going on on plants feeling more than we presume they do. If feelings is a standard by which I judge what to eat then sure your argument makes sense, but otherwise not so much. If I was a lion then I would have no problem killing goats or humans as well. If I was a goat no problem eating grass and plants. Perhaps if plants belonged to our kingdom you would feel differently. Anyway let's agree to disagree.

Fungi is living, as is bacteria. Like plants the sense in which they are "alive" is different than animals, but they are in fact living (fungi is in kingdom fungi and bacteria under the current 6 kingdom set up is under eubacteria & archaebacteria). Bacteria are pretty simple, but fungi are fairly advanced and on par with plants in a lot of ways, though really weird. You are correct about viruses, though, they are not living according to our current understanding.
Anyway, far enough, I'll agree to disagree as well. Nice debating with you.
