I once wrote a paper on Prevention of Crualty of vegetables.  My main point
was that it was immoral to eat them, because, unlike animals, they can't
run of fight back.  It was written as a joke though, so you won't see me
collecting rabid people to found PETV (People for Ethical Treatment of 
Vegetables.  We believe that vegatables must be clothed so that won't feel
ashamed for being naked).
