They don’t have a brain really and kinda just float there. Do they even feel pain?

    Oh, I don’t care about tomatoes being harvested any more than livestock being slaughtered, I’m not a vegan.

    I find the science behind plant communication fascinating and there’s more going on there than we currently comprehend.

      Yeah it’s totally fine to be fascinated with the chemical interactions of plants. This just wasn’t the thread to bring it up if we’re addressing OP’s question in good faith.

        I was responding to your (rather snide, now deleted) comment regarding “idiots in the thread posting about plant intelligence.”

        There is more going on with plant communication than we give them credit for. Can it be called “intelligence”? Well, not as we currently comprehend it, no. But at the same time, it’s not as easily dismissed either.

          Yeah, I think derailing the thread with bad faith intentions to redefine Veganism and not answering OP’s question is pretty idiotic. Mod thought my comment was mean, but idc.
