It seems like Roald Dahl may have been onto something after all: if you hurt a plant, it screams.

    I challenge you to make an appetizing meal out of the plants (and specific cultivars!) used as animal feed.

      Not a vegan: remember we raise a lot of these plants just as feed. If the reason to feed disappeared, so would the vast quantity of “not tasty” plants.

        No we do not…this is bullshit propagated by vegans. You cannot eat the shit cattle do.

          Yes, but I can grow human food on the same plots of land.

            …what part of the food grown is for humans and the shit you cannot eat from it is fed to cattle do you not get? You also cannot grow most food where cattle graze, as it’s to rocky or hilly or has to little water for it other than grass…
