It's a bit silly to compare killing a plant to killing something with a central nervous system. Plants don't think or feel. Birds and mammals certainly do.

- fnovd 8y agoPlants don't have a central nervous system that can experience discomfort or stress. The terms are used as an analogy. My laptops emits heat when it is "stressed" as well.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoI'm a backyard beekeeper and I just love bees. They're very intelligent. But you should see how commercial beekeepers treat them in the production of all this "vegan" food.
- uhtred 8y agoIn the production of what vegan food? Vegans don't eat honey. Maybe you mean what California does in order to grow almonds? So just American almonds? that's not really "all this vegan food" is it. it's one thing that isn't exclusively eaten by vegans.
- fnovd 8y agoIt sounds like you're trying to imply that the vegan food industry is particularly harsh on bees. This is not the case. Livestock consume far more of our crop yield than we humans do, at least in the US. We would need fewer commercial beekeepers if we ate plants directly. You're always losing caloric efficiency when you take extra steps through the food chain. There is no environmental damage caused by eating vegan food that isn't magnified when consuming animal products.
