This got me thinking:

What is more moral: eating something that knows it’s being eaten, or eating something that doesn’t know it’s being eaten, because it’s dead?

Thestudy’s actual title: „Plants respond to leaf vibrations caused by insect herbivore chewing“

response to stimuli is very interesting, but it doesn’t equal sentience. It does not mean that they are able to feel stress, pain or wellbeing. It does not mean that they have the ability to suffer.

We know that most animals fell stress and pain, that they are able to suffer. This includes fish as well. X

We know that animals suffer in animal agriculture. If you are seriously concerned about plant suffering based on a few studies on plants responding to stimulation, then being vegan should be a no brainer, since the science on that is clear.

And are non vegans seriously trying to claim they don’t eat plants? Humans can be perfectly healthy without consuming animal products in general, being healthy without consuming any plants is difficult.

And lastly, animals eat plants. Eating animals causes more plant deaths than eating plants directly. So even if you do accept plant sentience, it’s still an argument in favor of veganism.
