Whether or not plants feel pain is largely irrelevant. Humans have to eat plants, it’s not possible to make food (yet) without plants being in the chain. Even if plants feel pain, that makes it ok to eat them (unless we’re advocating mass suicide). Eating animals is trickier. You’re eating processed plants, so you’re still harming plants by eating them, but you’re harming an order of magnitude more plants (due to the inefficient conversion from plant to meat), and you’re harming animals as well. There’s therefore a very strong argument to be made that eating meat is immoral.
