    It seems so silly to me. Do plants not feel pain?

    They do. I learned it first hand… You can call it stress if you like, but plants most certainly experience suffering

      Then you should definitely go vegan. A vegan diet comes with the least amount of plant deaths and plant suffering, since lifestock is being fed with billions of individual plants before being slaughtered. You can save all of them.

        No, I can’t save them. Because systematic problems cannot be solved through individual action

        That being said, it’s bold of you to assume someone conscious of the suffering of plants isn’t eating as sustainably as they can with the choices they have available

        Also, this is about honey - honey production encourages freely planting wild fields rather than mono crops, and it discourages killing the bees. I don’t share your moral system, but in mine this is about as good as it gets

          Oh so you are a vegan?
