All animals, factory farmed or not, consume plants though.

People using the plant argument usually have low education and therefore were never taught to think before saying something.

If plants did feel pain the only way to be truly vegan would be having to live of water.

Yep. If you care about plants, all the more reason to stop consuming animal products. Not to mention that animal agriculture is responsible for over 70% of deforestation worldwide.

You're welcome! Here is my standard reply to plants-tho carnists:
If you care so much about plants, then you should go vegan. It takes 5-25 pounds of plants to produce just 1 pound of meat, dairy or eggs. Over 70% of all the crops we grow in the US and over 65% of all the crops we grow worldwide is used as cattle feed. This includes 98% of ALL soybean meal produced, which is 85% of all soybeans produced worldwide. So if you are so worried about saving the plants, you should stop consuming animal products. And did I mention that over 70% of deforestation is caused by animal agriculture in order to make space to grow crops meant to feed cattle? This results in the destruction of many, many more plants and trees + the extinction of thousands of endangered animals a year and also the starvation of millions of people who depend on these forests for survival.
Plants don't have a brain, nor a central nervous system, which are 2 things required in order to feel pain. I don't know if you actually read the research published about plants, but scientists discovered that plants release mustard oil as a reflex to certain vibrations. That is not the same as "hearing themselves being eaten" as, like scientists say, plants lack a brain and a central nervous system and are therefore not sentient. But I think that you know why it's obvious that you can't compare moaning the lawn to cutting the throat of a living sentient being like a human or a non-human animal. I don't doubt that you're intelligent enough to see why people get upset about dogs or other animals being harmed and not about someone putting his/her teeth into an apple.

*is slow at replying*
This is perfect. I love my mother and we agree on everything besides the "what about plants?" dealio. I respect all life, but I don't think saying, what about the plants?" is the most valid argument, as you end up killing more plants eating meat as a side dish.
I tip my hat to you my friend

Another great one. Carnist logic is proof human beings are far from the most intelligent species on the planet.
