OUCH! You hit today's Pet Peeve. Telling someone you don't eat things that
lived, and they go "But plants live!" Aaack. No offense Omer, but it
wasn't funny the first 5,000,000 times, either. 

There are two stock replies I have to THAT.

The OUTDATED reply: "I don't eat anything that used lungs to breathe, had
a heart to pump blood, had a brain to process thought, or was sentient".

The UPDATED reply: "Oh get a life."
