That's an existential crisis I've had after starting to eat vegan. Suddenly everything in your cupboard is a plant, with the exception of salt and sometimes mushrooms.

It's just like: I'll now eat this noodle-shaped plant with this pureed plant and this protein-rich plant and I'll also throw in some tasty plant shreds. Maybe I should also have some plant leaves with a dressing out of plant oil, fermented plant juice and this plant seed paste.

But then I realized that meat, eggs, cheese, milk, and even mushrooms, they're all just processed/digested plants, too. So, there's only plants and salt. Which really didn't make the existential crisis any better, but at least we're all in it together. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

All beings, including us, are descendants of the first single-celled being that appeared on Earth billions of years ago. We share 75% of our DNA with a potato (some people which I know, even more)
