ROCHESTER, MN—Hailing it as the best-tasting and most satisfying such product on the market, vegetarian food manufacturer Greenwood Farms unveiled a more realistic meat substitute Friday made from soy raised in brutally cruel conditions.
They send literal pain signals down their leaves when they’re injured, in a system extremely similar to our nervous system; using ion channels. Once the signal is received then the plant knows to put up whatever limited defenses available to them. Grass probably wouldn’t care if you stepped on it because it doesn’t really injure them, though that smell that comes out of mown grass is the horrified screams of agony.
I asked for a scholarly source. A youtube reel of someone reading a tumblr post isnt an academic source or anywhere to be getting scientific information from.
Im asking because the wording youre using “horrified screams of agony” is not remotely related to the reality of “plant has some kind of reaction when cut” which is more likely to be what is actually written in whatever scholarly article was the basis for the trash tabloid click bait articles everyone got the “plants feel pain” idea from. But again that doesnt refute any of my other points even if it were true that they “feel pain” (which they dont in any recognizable way)
You genuinely thought I was going to get you a source? Since when in the history of man has a harassing commenter ever actually wanted a source? It’s just debate bro shit so that you can feel intellectually superior. If you want to look into it fine but i’m not playing your stupid game.
You said something absolutely wild, if i said “aliens invented cheese” youd probably want proof. me refuting your points and literally just asking where you heard this information should not have you accusing me of harassing you and “debate broing” you. The reality is you just heard some random thing on the internet, never fact checked it because you thought itd be convent ammo in discussions about veganism. And now youre getting angry because i called you out on that. We all are guilty of doing that occasionally but flying into a rage and being rude whenever you’re called out is a dangerous way to live

Plants that are routinely stressed will flower much earlier than they would normally in a last-ditch attempt to pass their genes.

Man you really want to look like the good guy in this exchange. How about you go harass someone else.
