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 of energy transfer 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
So are vegans out of things to eat then?
