Hmm, how about ripping a piece of a potato plant's organism away (harvesting a root) and eating it just to make the plant produce more? Surely it would be uncompassionate to make the plant continue in its suffering without the release that death brings?

I find potatoes are difficult to sneak up on when they have lots of eyes...

I suppose it would depend in which forum you ask that question. In a faith that holds vegetarianism sacrosanct the question would at best be moot, at worst quite offensive.

Ask the question in the lounge, and the answer might be something like "well too many folks use the wrong barbeque sauce"
