Hey you guys joke, but the argument that favors murdering and eating plants while not murdering and eating animals is typically very human-centric (that is, the more human-like characteristics the living thing possesses, the less moral it is to kill them.) This works in an purely human-centric morality system ("RA-RA-WE'RE NUMBER ONE! GO HUMANS GO!") but fails miserably in any attempt at a universal-totally-holier-than-thou-one-with-the-universe morality.

IMHO.
