Plants are living things too.

Maybe XYZ caters up a mighty mean plate of energy waves and air?

Because they will die if they don't eat? Tah?! I've heard of crazy things to follow, but this one takes the cake. Wow, that is just plain unbelievable.

Maybe the troll wants logical reasons. Well, I've got one! It takes 10 pounds of plants to make one pound of beef, so therefore it's more humane to eat the grain.

How on earth do you know your not looking at a carrott brain when you chop them up? Do you know what carrott brain looks like?

And carrots do have babies too...

Given how far science has advanced by now, if carrots had brains we'd know about it.

A carrot grows, reproduces, then dies. It does not move and it doesn't really accomplish anything else. Why would it evolve a brain? It would be a waste of resources.

It also doesn't have any organs to support a brain. No lungs or circultory system to bring oxygen to it. Brains can't survive on their own. They need "food" too.
