A Friendly Conversation: Exploring Omnivorous vs. Vegetarian Diet

[Aaron]

I didn't see this anywhere in the list, but I am curious, what about plants that eat meat, like venus fly traps?

There is something about that in one of Pablísimo's posts in the old meat thread.

That is, there are many animals that kill for every meal, but there is no darkness in this act for they are merely following their instincts. By the same token, there are many other animals that are vegetarian by nature, but they deserve no praise for this for they did not choose this path, either. You also see animals that devote themselves to one mate by instinct and others that breed in a random fashion with hundreds of partners over time. Some animals band together in packs, some remain solitary. Some are peaceful by instinct, others aggressive. However, these behaviors are directed by instinct and genetics, not choice.
