RE: Tips tricks & the truth about going vegan (plus our burrito recipe)

Oh boy. Yes while plants are alive they are not sentient beings so yes it is ethical to eat plants. I have never heard that about taste. I will have to look further into this. I thought that different parts of your tongue were responsible for things like saltiness, sweetness, sourness... where is the illusion?

Sort:  

By the way, do you know that when a man(or a woman) with an axe in his hands enters a forest, the chemicals secreted by the Trees change? (I mean, it may be a good discussion, "the plants are sentient?") - When it comes to "TASTE" issue, In my humble opinion, the process works like this (English is not my mother tongue, so please excuse any English grammar mistakes :) )..: https://steemit.com/health/@lamegliogioventu/our-sense-of-taste-is-nothing-but-an-illusion-there-is-no-spoon

Some plants know when they are being eaten and change their taste. Certain vines can solve mazes. All living things are sentient to some degree. To value a plant over an animal is missing a point somewhere. Just my 2 cents. I applaud your success in self control!
