PEOPLE for the ETHICAL treatment of VEGETABLES (AND plants/fungi/bacteria/archaea/prions too)

Recycling means recombination .... in every form imaginable, plus many forms we can't yet imagine. What is "ethical" is therefore also a recombinant property ultimately tied to the thermodynamics of ongoing evolution. Sure there are things to discuss everyday, instead of just throwing down useless absolutes and temper tantrums. The most important goal is usually to damp frictions and expand the level of discussion so that aggregate progress can be defined. If we've reached the point where one form of life can only be "ethically" terminated without personally consuming it, only so it can be recycled (consumed) by saprophytes, and then recycled into a plant which it is "ethical" to eat ... then we're making a joke of ourselves. In thermodynamics, as everything else, the closer we look at supposed absolutes, we see only probability functions. Otherwise, recombination would not exist. So the launch of PEVA is a humorous reminder to calm down, and try thinking. Legend has it that PEVA was first launched by Omar Khayyem's spouse, who liked to eat. :)
