      No serious study suggests plants feel pain. They do not have a brain or central nervous system. At most, they respond to stimuli.

      Many more plants “die” for animal feeding than with a vegan diet.

      If you’re worried about grass pain, you should focus more on the animals that DO have nociceptors, central nervous systems and brains, and the ability to feel fear that you subject them too, purely for taste preference.

        I’ve read some studies that talk about how cabbages in a patch release a warning scent when one of them is being harvested. The scent actually propagates, and even non harvested cabbages release the scent further down the patch to warn other cabbages.
