    Plants do not have a central nervous system to process pain and even if they did “feel pain” you’re still eating more of them by eating animal products…

      not necessarily. we mostly feed livestock parts of plants we don’t or can’t eat. so while spinach is human-edible, the spinach fed to chickens is not handled in a way that keeps it safe for human consumption. by feeding it to livestock, we are conserving resources.
