“Plants feel pain” is an argument that supports a plant-based diet because it is more efficient to consume plants directly than to feed them to animals.
stepping into moral logic around consiousness around pain and suffering: that the shittier arguments vegans come up with to feel satisified with themselves over others with magical thinking and that shit needs to stop.
Vegans’ moral arguments are just fine, it’s just that most people don’t give a shit. When you realize how shitty most people are to other people, it makes the need to take a different approach very obvious.

i agree with the efficiency.
stick with that argument.
it works for you.

Everyone requires a certain amount of mental gymnastics to consume any living plant or creature to continue to exist in a meat body.
You can pick and choose food but you don’t get to pick and choose who has consciousness.
Denying that is shittier.
If you are asserting that plants have consciousness, then this supports eating a plant-based diet due to how trophic levels work.
I’m glad that we are on the same page with this.
Never said we weren’t.
as far as efficiency and better for environment we have been on the same page since the beginning.
The only problem I spoke up against here is the conscious guilt trip should be considered a non starter.
