Jokes aside, science has in fact recently discovered that various “tree” species (i.e. they can express both forms of trees or bushes) can communicate astonishingly well via root and biome-systems.
Bah, hopefully more than a complete dumbass like me can come along and add real info to this placeholder factoid, lol.
Even if we discovered that plants feel pain to the same extent as animals, a vegan diet would still be the moral option seeing as an omnivorous diet requires more plants (via animal feed) than a vegan one.
Efficiency is lost very quickly at higher trophic levels.
Communication amongst organisms doesn’t imply a significant amount of morally valuable traits surrounding consciousness. Fungi communicate and even cells communicate. Communication is just the sending of information

Can confirm i have also read this somewhere.
Also waiting for the more dedicated nerd to tell us all about the cool thing.
So, like, the: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycorrhizal_network stuff?

So are vegans out of things to eat then?

veganism is specifically about animal exploitation
Er… you tell ME, as per our long-exampled omnivorous history?
Swords UP, gladios sursum.
