Acharya Prashant questions the logic of those who justify eating animals by comparing it to eating plants. He points out that even habitual meat-eaters draw a line by not consuming human beings, which is a form of cannibalism they avoid. This avoidance stems from a subconscious respect for consciousness, as human beings are highly conscious and seek liberation. He argues that if one can draw a line to exclude humans from being food, that line should be drawn with more discretion, compassion, and consciousness to exclude animals as well.
