Overall, most humans agree that it is morally wrong to make other creatures suffer. Eating meat, or diary, definitely leads to animal suffering (it actual leads to human suffering too).
There is indeed a very small scientific community that has some (very preliminary) research done on a “nervous system” in plants. The wood-wide-web is part of those hypothesis. It is very intriguing, but reading the interviews with these scientists and their publications didn’t leave me with the impression that plants feel emotions, or that they think, are cognitive or learn from pain. Do you have scientific data to proof otherwise?

So you believe plants or fungi don’t suffer when you eat them?
This is an argument in favor of plant-based diets, since it results in fewer plants being eaten

Of course not. But nobody has evidence that cows think or have emotions beyond physical sensations either.
How can anyone be so data blind? These things are studied by actual biologists.
Don’t engage with them. It’s a troll account.
Hush, so am I.
Have you ever actually seen a cow in person townie?
