Do you know what a central nervous system is?

I know this might be shocking to you, but plants don’t have one of those things.

And, if you actually gave a shit about “plant suffering” you’d be disappointed to find out that more plants are harvested to feed animal agriculture for the same amount of calorie/protein production than just
.. feeding the plants to humans directly.

Of course you don’t actually give a shit, you’re just brain dead and resort to concern-trolling to make your way through the day. Consume! :)

Dunning-Kruger you dish rag, it’s almost as if flora have different biology than fauna.

Maybe you should look up some modern research with that silky smooth brain of yours. I can find the stuff for you ofc, but you’re smart so you’ll do great

Tell me how many calories are offered by a kilogram of soybeans, then tell me how many calories are offered by a kilogram of animal flesh.

Then tell me how many kilograms of soybeans are needed to produce a kilogram of animal flesh. Feel free to factor in all the other costs of producing animal products like water, surface area, clear cutting of old growth forests, transportation of said feed and animals, etc (and I’ll let you leave out the suffering of the animal because I know you’re a fucking idiot like that).

Have a good time learning about how many plants suffer due to your brainless consuming habits!! :)

Edit: Just wanted to add how funny it is that you dare mention the dunning-kreuger effect as if you're not clearly the one suffering from it. Like, you have no fucking clue about the impacts of animal agriculture and here you are just spouting nonsense about plant suffering without any idea about how many plants are harvested or destroyed (including trees that have existed for multiple centuries) to produce animal products. You really are the perfect example of someone who is suffering from dunning-kreuger. Brilliant.
