to eat meat, and for vegetarians, eating animals is wrong.

But what about digging up a carrot or picking apples from a tree?

Is that wrong too? I don't think so.

Neil. Plants aren't alive in the same way as animals are.

They They can't think or feel pain.

And even vegetarians need to eat something fruit, vegetables, rice, beans, they all come from plants.

It's true that plants don't have brains or nerves, but according to some scientists, there are much more than passive things rooted in the ground.

Plants can learn and remember. They solve problems, and can even recognize other plants in their family.

So given the amazing things plants do, is it right to eat them?

That's what will be discussing in this program, and as usual, will be learning some new, useful vocabulary as well.
