Why should I avoid eating meat if vegetables are also living organisms?

There is a debate regarding whether vegetables and plants are living organisms. Some people don’t believe that plants and vegetables have feelings like animals do. For instance when you pick a flower out of the ground it doesn’t hurt it. It doesn’t feel pain like animals to if you pulled them. It is up to the person whether they want to avoid eating meat or not. I believe vegetables are a different story.

People should eat vegetables and fruits even though they are plants and they are alive to an extent because they contain the vitamins and minerals that your body needs. I believe they were put on this planet to help people survive. I don’t believe vegetables are living organisms because they don’t have senses to feel anything.
