In regards to eating meat

[Namaste]

At any rate, the argument that plants feel pain too, does not support the argument of eating animals.

For the record, I didn't post that as an argument, it was purely for the sharing of information in response to Pab's mentioning of plants not 'feeling pain'.

I am not convinced that plants feel pain simply based on what my own 5 senses have observed.

Note that I mentioned stress, and not pain. These are two entirely different concepts.

Pain, as many of us define it, is a sensory product of the central nervous system. We feel pain thanks to our nerves. Our hair and nails do not have nerves and hence we do not feel pain when they are cut or damaged.

However, hair and nail cells do 'sense', as they have been tested in similar ways as the plants by the same man. They respond to emotional spikes of the 'donor'.

Sensing and feeling are entirely different experiences. I have no doubt plants do not feel pain in the same vein as animals do. Different densities; different aspects of consciousness and sensory experience.
