Don’t worry. By the time meat is made into burgers it’s already dead. The feelings have long gone. Same with veggies. By the time they’re picked and process, there’s not a bit of life left in them. Wait a minute! If plants have feelings, this might be the perfect excuse not to mow my lawn.
Actually, Dook, plants CAN communicate, and therefore we should kill them “humanely” before we eat them, same as we should do with animals… which we don’t (unless they’re “free range” or kosher).
Yes, peeling a carrot IS skinning it alive, just as boiling a potato can’t be pleasant for the potato… but I expect it will be the same for a lobster, and we have to eat.
And btw, “legumes” canNOT be translated as “let go of me”, even loosely, I don’t know where you got that. “Legumes” HAS translated into English to mean something else, as it often happens.

Cakes have feelings, slam the oven door while it’s baking and watch crater.
