Well, most vegetables are eaten in terms of pieces taken off the plant. So again, this to me speaks of eating the dead flesh of a creature no different from eating the dead flesh of another. In this case though the study seems to be focused on eating of the plant while it is still integrated (e.g, a caterpillar munching on some leaf still attached) and doesn't quite address whether or not the plants like being "dismantled" or having their parts taken off.
