This is a very bad essay/rant/blog post. You've clearly made it into an “us vs them” in your mind, and are trying to rally up anger in the vegetarians and a sense of prideful victory in the “fuck vegans” crowd. (rewarded w/ steem to be sure) You make very poor arguments, and completely invalid sweeping assertions and assumptions... you draw ridiculous conclusions from your “references”...e.g. “plants are sentient and can also suffer” because a biochemical mechanism was observed that has similarities to mechanisms in our own bodies.
I'm with you on the whole interconnected nature of our planet, and the nonlinearity of the food chain and the evolutionary tree, our dependence on our plantlife kin... However your overall thesis is deeply deeply flawed.
not an argument

Correct. It's an assessment of your essay. I believe if you submitted as a class assignment, it might get a passing grade in middle school or so. It contains very weak reasoning and is obviously lazily researched - you just threw in links that just kinda sorta support your core argument (which i surmise to be "vegetarians are stupid"), without even understanding what they were about.
Of course, all these high-fives from folks saying in so many words "yeah, vegetarians ARE stupid!" have likely clouded your ability to see the lack of quality in your work.
