President Teddy Roosevelt Proved Plants Are Alive
In 1914, famous vegetarians like Adolf Hitler were attempting to run for office in various countries to ban people from talking to plants claiming that plants are not alive and therefore should never be talked to.
Former president, Teddy Roosevelt released a statement to the press stating "I have traveled around the world and seen many different kinds of plants, it is certain to any man who has spent his fair share of time around plants that they are not only living creatures but also capable of a remarkable amount of growth and resilience".
After that Adolf Hitler challenged him to a duel in Berlin. Teddy Roosevelt accepted the duel despite the protests of the American warrior caste, who claimed the loss of their leader would leave the country vulnerable to a surprise invasion from Canada.
Teddy Roosevelt won the duel defeating Adolf Hitler in single combat and proving to the whole world that plants are alive.
Despite this many neo-nazis still practice vegetarianism, often spreading misinformation about plants claiming that they are made out of plastic and do not grow or die, some even go as far as to make fake plants out of plastic to torture before claiming that the lack of screaming in response to the torture is proof that the "plant" is not alive.
