I am suggesting that he eat the veggies because this is how he furthers his right to life; And it would be irrational for him to die by giving overly deserved weight to the argument that he is not ABSOLUTELY sure that his veggies are even real.

I don't believe in interfering with anyone's right to live (read RIGHT TO THINK). I have not been discussing making other people eat anything. I have been discussing being left alone. And I have been saying that all humans have the intrinsic and the immanent right to think, and that other rights devolve therefrom. I have been saying that I do not need permission to eat. I don't need a social contract to have the moral right to my own food. If you can take it from me you will have it--but you won't be moral. But society is a history of immorality.
