Another vegetarian diet I followed was "fruitarian." This one rejects killing plants, as well as animals. Basically, you eat fruits and nuts and seeds, and only vegetables such as brussels sprouts , asparagus, squash, tomatoes,etc where the plant is not killed. (this one was even harder to explain to others!)
I understand that distinction, I think you explained it well. Could you please give me some examples of a plant that is actually killed when it is eaten? I'm having trouble thinking of one.
And ... I bet you are the thinnest person!

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
