Very obvious bait post.

Plants are not sentient. Animals are.

All living organisms show basic reaction to external stimuli. Plants follow that. That does not indicate sentience.

Animals have significantly more intelligence than that. They form bonds, form relationships, mourn, and so on.

No living being except probably photosynthesis driven plankton can live entirely without consuming anything alive.

The devastation caused by vegan diets is still being figured out but there’s no question that it’s absolutely horrific for the ecosystem as insects are destroyed en masse to serve the needs of the industry.

No one wants to talk about what that does to the web of life depending on it though. It’s buried just like we see with the health impacts of the plant based meats.

Eat food locally grown and limit your meat consumption. Things aren’t as complicated as the media and food industry try to make it seem.
