VEGETARIANS AND VEGANS: If it was discovered that plants feel pain and have emotions too, would you continue not eating meat, or would you go back to eating meat?

I love meat to much sorry, if you are vegan/veggie person i say good for you

I love meat too much, too. lol

GO MEAT!

:D

phuck yeah what else would you eat they would relapse to their flesh devouring ways

If they killed the plants humanely, then I would continue to be a vegetarian.

they feel pain, but you do not eat the plant, you eat their froots.

so its kinda like eating the limb of an animal and leave it to live

Except they can reproduce their limbs.....

it is so not the same!

Since it has been shown that plants react to people...ie: the aura experiment, then they already have a primitive ability to 'sense'. I always liked that Twilight Zone episode where the dieter gets glasses that will aid her in losing weight...once on, she could 'see' the vegetables pleading not to be eaten...then she couldn't get the glasses off.

I would eat my foot.

idk i just feel that way sue me

I've been a vegetarian for a third of my life. At this point, not eating meat has jus become a habit for me. I didn't become a vegetarian to protect the animals, I'm not naive, I know that people aren't going to stop killing cows just because I don't eat them. So, yeah, I'd still be vegetarian. The plant may hurt a bit, but you don't have to kill most plants to get their vegetables, and I can't photosynthesize.

im a vegeterian as i hate tatse of meat not because i think its cruel to eat animals and i do agree they kill them in unhumain conditions but i would rather eat veg anyday than steak or beef it taste horrible

If I WAS vegetarian or a vegan (but seriously why the hell do people be vegans, thats just sorta dumb and actually sorta unhealthy) I would probably still be one.
But there is no way I could live without burgers or steak, so about that...Yeah, I'm very aware of the horrible mistreatment of animals, but there's not much I can do, besides being a vegetarian. And please people, do not preach to me about things I can still do. Don't do it. I won't be swayed.

So I eat meat, and vegetables. And don't plan on changing that anytime soon. But as I said, I would stay the same if I were a vegetarian even if plants do have feelings.


I bet some super duper insane crazy people are gunna not eat plants now too. I wouldn't be surprised.

I'm not a Vegetarian because of the killing of animals. In my point of view that is a part of nature and ok....but I think it's wrong how animals are treated before they get killed. They have to suffer a terrible life and that is just not right.

If you want to find out about that, read The Secret Life of Plants. I can't remember the author but it shows the experiments done to demonstrate plant to plant communication and the pheromes that are given off for attraction and repellant etc. It is facinating, but when I first read it, I thought that would leave Paul McCartney with nothing to do but drink water and so much for his only eating things that don't have a face!

I'm not a vegetarian i like eating meat. Humans are omnivores so im just going to follow that line and keep eating both.

eating both? does that include humans???

Perhaps

Hmmm, may I suggest a few that wouldn't be missed and would be a delicious addition to your new palate??

Sure just as long as they're G.E FREE lol

I promise! Will even put them thru a strainer if need be.

Hahahaha my fave is Fur Burgers lol

I guess I could send you a tongue scraper...so go for it!

It makes my reasoning easier. I'm not a vegetarian because i love animals, I'm a vegetarian because I hate vegetables. So scream, salad, fear my spork!

I'm not a vegetarian and I look at it this way. Do you think that while the bear is chewing off your leg he's thinking, "Oh I shouldn't eat this since it has feelings?" No, the bear doesn't give a damn about your feelings.

lmao Seriously XD

True, the bear is only surviving, however we have much more highly developed brains than bears. Our highly developed brains are supposed to carry with it a higher state of consciousness and therefore compassion, which is why we dont eat our young. Well, most of us dont anyway.
We werent built with razor sharp teeth and claws, predator strength, and the digestive sytem of carniviores. Otherwise I would be tearing into a raw leg no problem.

some do.

When exactly, was the last time a bear chewed on your leg??

Never. But I'm just saying that an animal wouldn't care. Not that hard to grasp my point.

It's a gross generalization, and you left out the possibility of CARE BEARS....

CARE BEARS!
I was attacked by Care Bears once. The memory will haunt me forever.

I am SO sorry, was it those damned green ones?

No, the lavender ones. The green ones were just taunting me.

Like a naughty french bear? The lavender ones melt at high temperatures so no problem there!

I'll have to remember to pack my flame-throwing lavender bear repellant. Thanks for the tip, I didn't know that.
