well, it takes a ton of plant foods to sustain animal agriculture.
if you’re concerned about plant sentience, you should be vegan, so you can live a healthy life harming as few beings as possible.
At that point you have a shit sandwich for sure. I think we either make the choice to slaughter veggies, like we do now with animals we KNOW experience pain, but with who we have much more in common.
Or come up with an alternative source of sustenance.
True! I forgot about that part - although they also have rules about how the cows should be treated, so in the US they would definitely not consume our dairy.
I don’t disagree and in a better world, I would be vegan. But what would we do if we found out at some point that plants do feel pain?

That makes sense, thanks

Fruititarians exist. Jains are the most notable group that practice this, as they believe that all life is sacred. You should look them up!
Jains will consume dairy
