Chances are a tomato doesn't feel what you feel..but then again, neither do cattle.
I doubt that it would make anyone put down a baked potato, but plant behavior is pretty cool. You should check it out just for shits and giggles when you're bored.
So, a reason to become vegan would not be the love of animals, but the hatred of plants. 'Take THAT broccoli! Not so bloody smug in the steamer now, are you? Mwa ha ha!'
Cool.
