    Ivy is an environmentalist, it's sort of her whole deal, but would she eat animals? If you were like Ivy, you'd probably look at a salad like a big ol' bowl of baby meat, so that's probably out of the question too. It's a legitimate question to wonder what Poison Ivy eats. If she's vegetarian, that both coincides and contrasts with her environmentalist viewpoint. However, if she refuses to eat plants and survives on an all meat diet, that's equally contradictory. Can anyone with even more time on their hands than me please shed some light here?

    There's a BTAS clip of her and Harley eating a salad.

    Which is hilariously hypocritical of her.

    @The Stegman: Possibly.

    @InnerVenom123: She's EVIL! I mean, more so than was originally implied.

    @BlackArmor: Kinda.

    Due to her physiology, she would either find nourishment from sunlight and water or probably from meat. There are plants that do eat meat.

    Well, technically, weeds eat plants and they ARE plants themselves, so probably not, but if she does she's "technically" not being hypocritical.

    I would think that she gets her food and nourishment the same way plants do... Photosynthesis and water. I would think she would be solely a carnivore if she didn't get her nourishment through sunlight and water

    It's never been brought up, but I've never seen her eat meat.

    I'm pretty sure she just photosynthisizes. Maybe she eats weeds?

    I hope Ivy isn't a vegetarian. Vegetarians are just cruel mass murderers. At least if you eat animals, the animal can run away from you before you catch it. It has a sporting chance. But vegetables are rooted in the ground. They can't run away. They are just sitting there waiting to be slaughtered or worse ... eating alive!
