      Fallacy

      A (potentially) thinking or feeling plant has to be killed in order to eat it just like an animal has to be killed, and there’s no difference between the two.

      Did you not read what I wrote? I made it very clear that there were a lot of differences.

      And the fun part is that you’re the second person to tell me that I was trying to justify eating meat when, again, the first four words of my post are “I don’t eat meat.” I couldn’t have been more clear on that point.

        no dude its about the resources, like you claim that plants can feel pain or something stupid like that, read up on it.

        Also

        But I will still have to admit that at the end of the day, I might just be choosing to cause a different kingdom of life pain and suffering because it’s far enough away from my species that I don’t consider that to be pain and suffering.

        sure sounds like think the “pain and suffering” of the two “kingdoms of life” might be equal.

              I wasn’t trying to make up any sort of debate. You are the one trying to debate here. And you’re not doing it very well either.

                Oh man how do we even define emotion, like what does it mean for something to be in pain, where do we even draw the line dude at sentience or at pain, what a quandary this all is

                is what I got from your post. And its easily answered by “plants dont feel pain”.

                  What you got from my post and what I actually said have already been established to be very distant from one another.

                  And, again, I am not the one trying to debate anything here despite you accusing me of it.
