    We have to survive on something, and at the very least we choose the least-sentient thing we can find to eat. Plants do have a nervous system, but they don’t have a brain. Or a centralized brain, anyway.

    We don’t know if plants can feel pain, but we definitely know that plants respond to damage

      Completely true. But it also shows how the need for anyone and anything to survive always comes from hurting something.

      Nature is, de facto, unfair. A prey will struggle against a predator, much like when something else is a “predator” to something that most of the times cannot more or respond.

      There is simply no way of not causing harm ever in all processes of producing food, especially without heavily reducing the quality of life of many humans.
