    Is “more ethical” really enough if you accept that plants can suffer

    I don’t accept that, but even if I did, you should still act to minimize suffering as much as possible.

    Do you really believe that killing a plant is the same as killing an animal?

      I literally wrote this:

      Do I think plants have the same sort of sentience as animals and will I stop eating broccoli? Of course not.

      I guess you didn’t actually read my entire post before you responded.

        Honestly it just seems like you’re trying to contort yourself into a knot that allows you to eat meat without feeling bad?
