    Since you think it’s possible plants suffer, you should go vegan, since more plants are consumed to provide an omnivorous diet than a vegan one. All those cows/pigs/chickens/etc need to be fed before you get to eat them. So your comment is actual an argument for going vegan.

      I don’t know whether plants can suffer or not. I just think it’s silly for someone to use it as a reason not to eat meat when there is not strong evidence that plants don’t suffer.

        If plants don’t suffer, then a plant based diet has less suffering. If plants do suffer, than a plant based diet has less suffering.

          Only if you assume the suffering of a plant to be less important than the suffering of an animal.

            It takes more plants for an omni diet than it does for a vegan diet. So even if plants suffering is worse, a vegan diet is still better.
