It's debatable whether plants have offered themselves to be consumed by humans. I contend that they have. You say that haven't. We can disagree on that point, but we cannot disagree that animals want to be eaten, because animals make it very clear that they don't.
i disagree, because there is no pointer that can formulate an agreement that goes 'plants have offered themselves to be consumed by humans'.
the fact that plant is an immobile creature, and does not talk or scream or yell the way an animal does, is not a validation for 'offering itself for consumption'. there are a lot of non plant creatures which cannot scream or yell. that doesnt make them 'free for consumption'.
Quote:correct, with the modification that I would replace 'self interest' with 'sustenance.'
the reason for ending the bodily manifestation of any entity does not matter. what matters is, the bodily manifestation of an entity ends. since the reason for 2d existence is trying to progress, develop without getting disseminated, and also move at will, with direction. both animals and plants (and heaven knows what kind of other creature types that exist in the existence) do it in their own style.
one thing common is, once their bodily incarnation ends, they cannot progress and move their self. they need another incarnation.

this is about us, ourselves, than other people. other people have their own spirits, their own path, own route. they may not even be able to come to the same point in a hundred million years, or they may come to it in a flash of lightning. they will follow their own spirit's path.
its about us. our choices and understandings at any given point, will shape our future experience and where these experiences will be, with whom, and their nature.
