I've always wanted to ask a vegetarian this.

Do you reject eating meat for humanitarian reasons? If so, would you eat oysters? They have no brain. They're still alive, but so is corn.

There's an article arguing in favour of that position, from a vegan perspective: http://www.slate.com/id/2248998/

(I'm a vegetarian and I agree with that, though I personally do not eat oysters mainly because I find it icky. But I don't have any ethical objection to it.)
