I KNEW it, the shivering horror and terror that poor Plants must experience when they think about their nightmarish-ending...and the actual pain, suffering and agony they go through when being killed, so awful.
At least as someone who mainly eats meat, I know that animals are not put-down is such a horrible manner, it is usually quick, with limited pain.
Oh, right. Go to a pig or beef slaughterhouse and then make that claim.
I wonder if there's a humane way to kill and cook plants.
I guess the triggered folks will have to figure it out. Not only that, but raised humanely as well. The paper discusses how farmers could use machines to listen in to detect when plants are distressed. We might be seeing "humanely raised" labels on plant foods to appease them.
If everyone actually read the article, it says plants communicate emitting sounds that humans cannot hear. Of course they don't "scream" This has been known for decades, it is nothing new.
There have been numerous studies that show that playing soft classical music near them helps them grow. Talking to your plants helps, but that has been ascribed to blowing carbon dioxide on them with your breath which causes photosynthesis.
There's nothing about Mother nature that's benevolent. It's always been survival of the fittest and the chain of consumption. We kill to eat and survive no matter what we eat- animal or vegetable. Then we die like everything else alive.
You didn't show me a source. You copied and pasted something you probably read on a pro meat blog.
If we "need a balanced" diet then how are there millions of vegans?
I told you to look up the data and do your own calculations like I do. I don't need others to analyze and form opinions for me.
There may be 3 million vegans in this country (thanks to high fuel inputs to ship produce in from all over the world for them) but let me tell you, it's a real challenge to provide medical management for their scrawny little protein & calorie malnourished bodies when they are seriously Ill on the ICU.
Let em scream. I have to eat something, and it's not gonna be vat grown meat.
