You should instead become a Fruitiarian and only eat fruit that has naturally fallen off of the tree/bush.
If you listen very carefully you can hear carrots scream as you rip them from their home and separate them from their loved ones, to slowly wither and die on some shelf!
Its the greatest crime of our time! :p

What do you suggest to users of tobacco (other than: quit smoking)? Maybe I will try to stuff some bacon in my pipe next time, but I don't have high hopes.
