In a fantasy world where Speak with Plants is a valid spell, I think such an idea would only come up in a society that had a large, ignorant urban population that didn't use magic or interact much with spellcasters.I think, personally, a druid would be offended by either concept. The pacifist because nature is anything but passive; passive = food. The vegan, because it's an attempt to deny the basic nature of the creature (assuming that we're talking about an omnivore). They'd feel the same about an Atkins dieter as well. There wouldn't be a shunning or anything, but they'd clearly be put off by it.</blockquote>
