In the John Cena video he says they can't pick apples off of trees because that "harms the tree", but aren't there literally millions of species of plant that literally evolved tasty fruit to attract animals to eat them to distribute seeds? I'd think the Plurbs would have some botanists and biologists in their collective that know this, and I'd argue if a plant literally evolves a berry that's like "hey eat my berries!" they consenting to have you eat their berries.

Should couldn't they all just eat berry smoothies?

Again I gotta stop watching this as a serious SciFi show.

Haven't seen the show but yeah that's our current understanding of why some fruit was developed to be tasty and edible, so animals spread the seed.

It sounds like they are kind of riffing on the way some people interpret Jainism.
