The more animals you let kill, exploit and consume, the more plants are consumed.

Plants don't feel pain.

But that still is something under study if plants feel pain, i thought
Would not be something we understand with our flesh and blood and nervous systems different from plants, that's why still under study, but I don't think entirely impossible. Plants send distress signals and move and communicate too, also complex little beings.
I rather remember and be grateful for all beings that give up time energy or life to produce my food, human workers too, than worry about what life forms can or can't feel pain and try live with that. Because we don't know for certain, and some day could prove very very wrong.

Right now not much food comes without harm someone or something somewhere on the way... workers or plants or animals or land herself. It is very much worth and in need to change but not worth to hurt and berate yourself over if someday something you thought true turns out wrong

Plants don't feel pain any more than a computer feels pain.

We do know for certain that animals do feel pain though.

Not saying not just my point is if someone is vegan specifically because animals feel pain but plants do not, some day understanding of that might change and then what? Eat nothing? even animal studies on pain and emotion still relatively new let alone plant life. Nothing against people choose to cut out any category product just i think reason should be more than about cutting out who can feel pain. Human workers feel pain too, and they're involved no matter what you eat
