Yes, plants are wonderful and altruistic. With such great qualities, how can man eat them? We have PETA already... are we preparing for PETP (People for the Ethical Treatment of Plants)? Soon, it will be considered immoral for humans to eat anything.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.
