> under the categorical ethics usually applied to argue for veganism, recognizing plants as sentient would make eating either inexcusable

Veganism is the ethical position that animals should not be exploited for food, clothing and other purposes. If you want to start a Compassion for Carrots organization, be my guest, but please don't form conjecture on others' behalf. You've also not yet provided evidence for plants' sentience, so you haven't actually given reason for considering the abuse of animals to be ethical or acceptable.

So you dont care about the morality of ending life, you only care about the morality of ending sentient life - got it.

I'm glad you were finally able to realize the distinction between sentient and non-sentient life. Nice talking with you!

oh so you ignored my central point all along adn instead took my philosophical question of all life vs some life, and decided to defend veganism against a phantom attack.

Well you win, veganism is definitely the superior lifestyle choice, you are a better person than everyone on earth who isnt vegan. There are zero philosophical or moral quandries that exist within veganism, especially with respect to the value of life.
