Do vegetables feel pain when you eat them?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Given that plants do not have pain receptors, nerves, or a brain, they do not feel pain as we members of the animal kingdom understand it. Uprooting a carrot or trimming a hedge is not a form of botanical torture, and you can bite into that apple without worry.


Can vegetables feel when you eat them?

According to a new study from the University of Missouri, plants are able to sense when they are being eaten and utilize defense mechanisms in an attempt to prevent it from happening. Plants recognize the sound of herbivores feeding on their leaves, and then use their tissues to send our vibrations.

Can vegetables feel pain when you bite into them?

Do plants feel pain? Short answer: no. Plants have no brain or central nervous system, which means they can't feel anything.

Is it cruel to eat plants?

Plants aren't inanimate objects — just like animals, they are living, breathing things too. But since plants don't seem to make a sound when they are plucked, cooked, popped into the mouth and chewed, the foam-in-the-mouth “animal rights” defenders think (so conveniently) that there is no cruelty in eating plants.

Do plants react to being cut?

While they may not have brains like humans do, plants talk to one another through smell and even communicate with insects to maintain survival. Like any living thing, plants want to remain alive, and research shows that when certain plants are cut, they emit a noise that can be interpreted as a scream.
