I was just thinking about it because I was looking at a particularly sensual tomato stem and I realized I was looking at a living organism. Not one with thoughts and feelings but my thoughts and feelings are usually profoundly stupid and I have rights regardless.

Makes you think. Well, you. I don't think because I'm a loving moron

Yes. You should only eat the parts of plants that fall naturally to the ground.

Rights are a human invention. The universe doesn't give a gently caress.

I actually think it's unclear whether plants have feelings. Obviously if they do they arise in a very different way to how ours seem to, but it's hardly conceptually impossible. They certainly exhibit behaviors that when we see them in an animal we take as a sign of consciousness. Reaction to stimuli and memory. Here's an interesting article on the subject.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

if a human-edible plant could speak wouldn't it ask you to eat it? how else do they reproduce except being eaten and shat out somewhere

eating a plant is like loving it

the other plants bees gently caress

Technically all plants have rights to exist.
But that is only because humans think that plants might have the cure for cancer in them or some poo poo, (and make oxygen)
and we don't want dumbass humans to gently caress that up.



Also, like, there is plant in Australia, that if you touch it, -it makes you want to kill yourself.
