I know I wouldn't. It probably wouldn't make me stop since animals feel pain and I eat them, but it would make me think about it more. What are your thoughts?

Plants WANT to be eaten. They are designed that way. You are supposed to eat them and poop the seeds out so they will propogate.
Of course, that doesn't happen much for civilized folks, but we have only been in the picture for a very short time. |
