No, plants do not feel pain. They do not have a nervous system, they do not have consciousness, etc.

Even if they did, that's still an argument for veganism. Where do you think animals get the energy they store in their bodies? They don't absorb it from the sun. They eat plants, use some of that energy sustaining their life, then you eat them and absorb some of what's left. Anywhere from 1/4 to 1/10th of the energy they originally consumed. Meaning if you are looking to minimize suffering, regardless of whether or not plants feel pain (which they don't), eating plants directly is how you do that.

For me it was thumping, the industry standard way of killing piglets by grabbing them by the back of the head and smashing them into concrete until they're dead. That or the CO_2 acidifying every mucus lining in a pig's body, chemically burning them alive while they suffocate to death because people get enjoyment out of it

Reacting to stimuli ≠ feeling pain. Plants do not have a nervous system, nor a brain, nor any way of consciously feeling that pain.

If you want to understand what feeling pain is, feel free to watch farmers smash piglets heads into concrete (thumping, an industry standard) until they're no longer breathing or pigs being dropped into CO_2 chambers and having every mucas lining in their sinuses, eyes, throats, etc acidified as they suffocate to death.

54% of young Americans say food costs are the biggest strain on their finances

My food is only about $150-200 a month, and thats when i'm eating 3600 calories a day, instead of my current 2400. I live in chicago land, so it's not like my cost of living is cheap, and i buy good ingredients (ie San Marzano tomatoes and De Cecco pasta). Is there something i'm missing?

This article's source material was focused on where inflation has been the worst, but outside of bread and tortillas, i don't think any of my staple foods have gone up in price in years? I guess tofu has gone up $1 a pound, actually.

But broccoli is still $1 a pound here, beans are still $1 a pound dry, which is 50¢ a pound cooked. Rice is $1.50 dry, which is 33¢ a pound cooked. I guess fresh fruit prices have gone up a bit? But the sale prices are just as cheap as ever, and frozen fruit has only gone up $1 for 4lb since 2020, from $8.99 for strawberries to $9.99.

All of this is to say inflation has barely affected my grocery shopping at all in the last 4-5 years, and that is with me specifically looking for it since my dad promised me it would
