Vegans consume fewer plants than anyone else. It takes a LOT of plants to raise a cow, pig, or chicken. From an economic point of view, meat is a way of refining mountains of cheap, plentiful, safe plant products into a scarce, harmful and addictive luxury product. This comes up a lot, you'd be amazed how many plants rights activists your average vegan runs into.

the same plants that are being fed to animals are the plants that we eat too. animals are mostly said crop seconds or parts of plants the people can't or won't eat.

Addictive like water and air are addictive.
