The amount of pseudoscience surrounding the 'plants tho' debate is just plain infuriating, I just can't with anyone who thinks harvesting wheat is morally equivalent to sticking a bolt through a cows head.
It's probably way too far to even dare hope that the majority of human beings can be taught concepts like "central nervous systems" and how a living mind experiences things and what things can and cannot experience things.
Because I'm quite sure the average person can't even recognize when another person is alive and can feel things.
