Plants Aren't Thoughtful

Plants Can Tell When They’re Being Eaten reads the headline.

"We’ve been hearing for decades about the complex intelligence of plants…" the article begins.

Oh, please! That plants have evolved defense mechanisms doesn't mean they "can tell" anything nor have "intelligence." (Okay, author went on to explain "intelligence" is "imprecise." Y'think??)

Next we'll be scolded by People for the Ethical Treatment of Vegetables.
