IMHO, it's best to be respectful of any living being you eat -- whether plant or animal or insect. Life feeds on life, but #BigAg, #Monoculture and #BigMeat take us away from our food sources.

The Hidden Memories of Plants

Inside a quiet revolution in the study of the world’s other great kingdom.

by Sarah Laskow

"In the study of the plant kingdom, a slow revolution is underway. Scientists are beginning to understand that plants have abilities, previously unnoticed and unimagined, that we’ve only ever associated with animals. In their own ways, plants can see, smell, feel, hear, and know where they are in the world."
