I think it all boils down to the experience of suffering, and not necessarily to the taking of life, especially plants or seeds/grains. just saying we should have consideration for suffering.
This is only my opinion of course, but I suspect grains and seeds do not experience suffering when you eat or cook them.
Listen I eat meat too. My reasoning is that I am not going to suffer in order to avoid meat altogether, but I try to be reasonable with how much and what I eat. I try to throw in legumes/beans (like soy bean products and eggs into my diet for protein also, so I am not always causing the slaughter of some animal.

I call BS
I have had those morning star grillers and they dont taste ANYTHING like real meat , and the consistency isnt even close.....
If youre friends thought that was meat then they are use to eating some really really really crappy quality beef.....
2. Being Vegan doesnt give anyone any moral high ground for anything....its a food choice, not transcendence, nor does it make you on par with the Dali Lama or any other person whose actually done actual things that have a bearing on morality
3. Many of us out there actually raise , and slaughter our own meat sources......we know where it comes from and what it takes..
4. Not everyone has the same dietary standards......trying to put everyone on a vegan diet would be a disaster....
5. BACON
im sure with proper seasoning people would be just as delicious as any other animal flesh.

What, thread not going where you wanted it to go so you now indirectly tell us we are all cannibals.

Well its also a question of morality and the golden rule of, "Do onto others as we would have them do onto us."
If people are just eating meat because it tasts good would they eat human flesh as well?
Would many consider that immoral?
Alot of the arguments are that it tastes good, we are stronger, survival of the fittest, we are smarter, it was written in a book that god said it was cool, so we can eat them.
Well if the same was said of humans would people eat each other?
Or if another more advanced race showed up would we think its moral for them to eat us because they are more advanced?
