    I will not debate plant sentience. If you erroneously believe in and care about plant sentience, you should go vegan, by eating them directly far fewer plants are murdered.

    Ok. So anything that doesn’t have a subjective experience of existence is morally fine to eat.

    Nope. Didn’t say that either. You were the one hallucinating a carrots will.

        Yes, but the point about minimizing plant deaths by eating plants instead of feeding more plants to animals and then eating the animals is a valid one…

          Yes. Gping further. If you really want to minimise plant deaths then you remove all animals (including humans).

          My main point is that empathy and it’s focus depends very much on the individual. Empathy is a strong emotional argument but a weak logical one.
