MessageSome people who feel stronly that way become fruitarians. Only eating fruit (and nuts) from trees and bushes that offer them up freely. Thus no plants suffering early termination. Daniel Reid mentions the practice in one of his books (Tao of Healthy,sex and longevity?). He does say to get proper nutrition you eat the seeds, core and peel (even banana) of most fruits.
Personally I think you have to be pragmatic. Blend your beliefs with an approach that will keep you happy and healthy. Some people get too dogmatic and rigid and when there strict diet starts hurting them after what could be months or years, they keep at it.
You can have your food and conscience too.
