    Have you stopped to think that plants also suffer stress when being picked?

    It’s kinda one-faceted to just ignore that suffering while focusing on other suffering don’t you think?

    True ethical consumption doesn’t exist the way you have it defined.

      Yes. And they don’t

        They don’t, but they also kinda do … They communicate with each other and with animals, they have different chemical reactions to different stimuli, etc. just because they’re different from you doesn’t mean they don’t suffer. Probably less than factory animals, that’s for sure, ofc. But not everyone that eats meat supports that shit.

          The plants communicate for survival because of natural selection, not because they are avoiding pain
