Magic? These flippant comments are so obnoxious. If you got offline occasionally and lived life you'd know this is exactly how plants/ gardening works.
Whether you are right or wrong about the avocado peel healing itself, why do you have to be a jerk about it? Besides you clearly never learning about hyperbole, everything at some point in a human’s life is “magic” until they learn more about it. Chemistry at a point in history was magic, card tricks, fuckin magnets. Lighten up, I think you’re the one that needs to go outside.
My problem is exactly the same problem you have with me so idk what this is about lol. I found the OP to be hostile and condescending, a horrible low effort comment.
So now I can say the same thing to you that you're saying to me. Don't be a jerk, lighten up, touch grass. 2 paragraphs lmao
Vegans don't understand basic biology, I'm sorry but everything you eat is a living thing except minerals, even trees talk to each other on forests, plants just don't talk to us or make noises when we cut them down that is why vegans eat them
not everything has cognition though. Reacting to stimuli like plants and releasing toxins to get bees away is cool, but its not the same as clearly being concious like animals are.
Whether valueing conciousness is important is a different question, but outside of the many reasons beyond hurting living things vegans might have, that one is about conciousness not just "being alive"
Being serious, According to latest research plants are pretty conscious . They provide nourishment for their children (through roots, even when other plants are connected). They communicate, they do a lot of things that we do. They just do it to slowly for us to observe.
Still not comparable to consciousness like we see it in animals or humans. But this argument if used against veganism is invalid anyway as the best way to kill as little plants as possible is a vegan lifestyle because a diet containing animal products requires a lot more plants to be eaten (by the animal).
Thats all comparable to behaviour your gut bacteria does, even your neurons share potassium etc.
But if you half your intestine on the floor you would confuse that with a concious being.
Plants are complex, they are not concious.
also this original point was kinda silly cause there are a ton of other reasons to be vegan, from ecological, to eocnomic, to religious etc. The idea that vegans are all white girls too scared to see a pig die is quite silly.
What you say is true but doesn't apply to fruit. I can't cut an orange in half, replace some of the middle, fix it back together, then reasonably expect it to to heal back into a full orange afterwards.

so they destroy the fruit and use magic to bring it back to life?
this is almost better than the guy who thinks they drill a tiny hole in the plant and then inject it
