When I was doing biology at uni I remember thinking that the systems in plants and animals looked really similar even if the cell shapes and stuff being moved around was different. And having been that weird kid that used to just sit in the middle of the jungle tuning to whatever was happening at the time and also having observed climbing plants seeming to be very deliberate and thoughtful in where they were climbing and more recently reading about plant defence mechanisms I eventually decided that just because as animals we can’t relate to or understand plant perceptions doesn’t mean that they don’t think and feel.

But if that ever mainstreamed it would likely wreak havoc on ethical eating.

I’m having trouble with images loading again, I wish I could see the post images! The cover image looked lovely in my feed view 🙂
