People need to eat. Agriculture is key to feeding large numbers of people. Animals alone cannot make a complete diet, nor is raising animals for food as efficient as raising plants for food. Like the other posts say, plants have no central nervous system, they are incapable of 'feeling' any sensation. Worrying about agricultural 'plant welfare' or mistreatment is the last thing we should be doing when there are still people who are hungry or starving in the world.
