Something these plants rights activists always seem to miss is that they’re just espousing something like ethical fruitarianism.

Thanks Connor. Sadly those calling out the problems of spirituality tend to share similarly crappy thinking re: non-human sentients too - see the Conspirituality podcast (otherwise great analysis of the space). For more on the dairy / beef situation in India you might find my conversation with Yamini Narayanan interesting - here "Mother Cow, Mother India" book is an amazing read: https://sentientism.info/mother-cow-mother-india-yamini-narayanan-international-development-asst-prof-sentientism-ep160 Turns out being "worshipped" is just another form of objectification and oppression.
