Why Vegetarianism?

Dear Devotees: Humble Pranams:

adiyEn has the bhagyam of working with some kids in the Universities in the 
Chicago area.

One of the Basic Tenets of VEDICS (Vaishnavaism) is Vegetarianism.
=======================================================
Now the Kids normally ask plants have life too, how can you kill or eat the 
plant alive.

We normally say that plants do not have a Central Nervous System to feel the 
pain.
(Minimal suffering to all beings)

Now is there any other explanation. (that would make sense to kids)
If we dig in the Vedas there are so many places where meat eating is allowed, 
and recommended.
(Thank god these kids do not have access/knowledge of these, but adiyEn would 
like to get 
answers that would satisfy the scientific mind)
