Just because there is no indication of their suffering doesn't mean they don't suffer.

Dude common, really?

Plants don't have a central nervous system. Pain and suffering is not in any way an evolutionary need for plants. We have a CNS and get the impulses, because we have the ability to do something about. Hold your hand above a flame and the pain will make you retract your hand. Hold a flame under a leaf and it'll just burn.

Furthermore your claim is currently infalsifiable. We can't proof that you're suffer even if you tell me that you're suffering.

Just because they don't have a central nervous system doesn't mean they don't feel. Perhaps there is a different mechanism for pain that we simply haven't discovered yet.
