But they do have emotions. So your behaviour towards them does have an impact on them. They appreciate love just as much as we do.

They know they are supposed to be eaten because the other moving creatures would not be able to evolve without them.
That is how it has been going on for millions and millions of years. Should that be wrong all of a sudden when we reach a certain level of consciousness at this point in time?

I was going to say if you don't consume plants either cause they have emotions, soul or feelings then you starve! But I like your explanation in regards to plants. I least I don't feel guilty!

I think some people really take it over the top with compassion and care for other life.
You should always be aware of the perspective, of where you came from and how many millions of years you are under way already. And just how short ago it probably is that some people made the transition to no more animal food.

We are all part of a very big plan and life needs food for growth and to evolve. It's part of the design. Why would food taste so good if it wasn't meant to be eaten?

Well, saying that plants have a soul ought to make one consider whether physical/organic life has a soul, or that it all resides in Soul. - Spirit.

For people who haven't done so, you ought to look up the research, either on YouTube, or other, "The Secret Life of Plants".

Meanwhile, again, also consider what the visible and organic world is, with regard to a greater Reality. A true nature and situation of Life.
