And I'm not trying to say vegans are dumb or ignorant about that. Just that I've had the experience of some of them seeming surprised and disagreeing that plants are living things.
Comment on those damn vegans!

Funny - that is an about face from what vegans used to claim.

You’re saying “vegans” as if we’re a monolith. I’m sure there are vegans who aren’t aware that plants are considered living, but I’m sure there’s about the same percentage of meat eaters who aren’t either. If every vegan you’ve ever talked to (or most, since you’ve made both claims) has this misconception, I’m willing to bet your sample size is extremely small, or you’re being intentionally dishonest to support your initial claim.

Since when have plants been alive? This is news to me. Next thing you are going to tell me is that plants also crave Brawndo.

Plants crave Brawndo. That's a great slogan if you ask me. Now I crave it also.
