It's also very likely plants have some sort of experience of the world that would be very alien to ourselves or animals. They have complex networks through roots and mycelial connections, communicate to one another through chemicals emitted and "smelled" through the air etc. By some this could be considered a form of consciousness. What that means for vegans I don't know

- 2024throwaway 3y agoYou can say it has always been about that, but for many, myself included, it’s about health and environmental impact first.
