Earthlings (documentary)

[Thanatos]

The difference between living plants and living animals is that many plants, trees and mushrooms actually want you to eat their fruits and seeds,

Animals disperse the seeds of plants by eating their fruits. So who is the smartest? :wink:

But our mushrooms: do they ‘want’ to be eaten?
In evolutionary perspective they produce psilocybin so that the animal thinks twice the next time before eating the same mushroom. Or, he will be tripping somewhere in the bush and be an easy prey for carnivores, so animals with an habit of eating these mushroom will be selected away.

Iron is also a very important and B12 can be easily injected in an excessive dosage with no harm.

One of the most important things for me, is that the transfer from conscious to no consciousness for an animal needs to be done instantly with no harm and awareness.

Tigers are earthlings as well, and they let suffer their prey quite long before they consume. We humans do have the intelligence to get our meat with no sufferance for the prey. It is merely a matter of capital investment.

No meat at all is a bit over the top for me, but I'm willing to pay much more for every single purchase if I have the guarantee that what I bought went no path of sufferance.

animals can spread mushroom spores trough their shit, also there are indications that animals that allow psilocybin mushrooms in their diet, get benefits from the improved eyesight.

Maybe, but if that were the case, why does it make itself look so delicious?
