A lot of plants don't want to be eaten either. Tough shit, I am hungry.

Vegan Bullshit Bingo #22

Plants have feelings too

No, they do not. There is no serious study to suggest that they do. Plants do not have a brain or central nervous system. At most, they respond to stimuli. If you really care that much about the welfare of plants, you should go vegan, since many more plants "die" for animal feeding.
Do you feel bad while mowing your lawn? And would you rather rescue a potted plant than a dog from a burning house? Is docking pig tails the same as branch trimming to you? Question upon question...

What part of "Tough shit, I am hungry" made you think I care about the desires of the plant?

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Plants communicate.

Those tears you shed when cutting onions is because of a defence mechanism of the onion, the scent you smell when cutting grass is another.

We also know that fungi and trees communicate with eachother as well. They even help eachother gain nutrients.

Yeah, agreed. Life wants to live. Pain and fear is something animals feel so they can get away from potential harm. If you're immobile like a plant, it doesn't make sense to feel pain because you can't run. You don't need to have a brain nor a central nervous system to deal with that.
70% of global crops are fed to animals. Stop eating animals and grow forests instead, to make our planet healthier.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

It's closer to 30%.

About 80% of the biomass of the food grown for human consumption is fed to livestock as well. That may be where you're getting that number? That's being insanely generous. What we're talking about is like, corn stalks, squash vines, that kind of shit. The parts of the plants humans cannot physically eat but none the less must produce to feed ourselves.

I'm sure the irony of your bullshit bingo card is completely lost on you but you haven't said anything that strictly speaking could be interpreted as true in this thread.

Some do, actually. Most plants that taste good basically rely on being eaten as part of their reproductive cycle.

Wanna guess how many plants are wasted to feed animals, only for humans to eat them?

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 5 days ago (11 children)

fun fact: we kill between 1 and 3 TRILLION animals a year for food and textiles.

Wait, that's not a fun fact!

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

That's it? I was hoping to see at least 10 trillion animals killed this year... /s

To be completely fair, some plants actually produce fruits with the intent of them being eaten, because that's their way of Zoochorie/Hemerochorie

If I could photosynthesize and fix my own atmospheric nitrogen, I happily would.
