    This study feels like meat industry propping up “plant also have feeling” rhetoric so that meat lovers can use it as some sort of gotcha against vegan activists.

    Sorry but the title on this post is so clickbaity. We’ve known that plants release chemical signals when injured for ages. This is definitely not “whispering messages”

    Unfortunately the grass screaming about the lawnmower is useless at stoping the humans and pointless at informing the trees.

      The kind of grass that gets mowed has a symbiotic relationship with humanity.

        Don’t fret! I know many vegans who would rather starve to death instead, but certain they’d be happy for the company!
