Just wondering

Putting on my pedantic hat:
Because that's a designation for any species that has evolved to prey on plants for their nutrition and energy.

Fun fact: Herbivores used to be meat-eaters ("blood-mouths" is the preferred usage amongst biologists), largely subsisting on pepperoni and sausage pizza after chewing a lot of weed. Eventually, perhaps inevitably, the entire process of deciding on which pizza and then placing the order and then remembering that the atm was five blocks away and they couldn't remember where their shoes were became too much for them and the lot of 'em just said, "meh, whatever I'm hungry enough to eat grass (the other kind) and that poo poo is free". And they never had to pay for pizza or put on shoes ever again.

Idk about you, but I prefer to hang a bag of liquid nutrients from my tap root and lay in the sun. You're just green with jealousy, at least I'm green with chloroplasts.

I am a vegan. Not for my love of animals, but for my deep, seething hatred of vegetables. All you need is dirt, water and sunlight to thrive, while I've got to get up every morning before sun up to go to a job I hate just to pay rent? Well see how you like being maple syrup-boarded with crushed garlic then roasted in the oven at 400°!

All right, there Mr. A. Whitney Brown.

Everywhere, everyone is red and green
I gotta lust for glory and a tape machine
I'm living out Frank Coppola's dreams
Outta my mind, I'm feelin' mean
