But what if the plants we like to eat are more conscious than the plants that animals like to eat? Or even more conscious than the animals themselves? How do we really know? What if there is a God in every peanut?

Well why base your actions on anything at all given that line of thinking? Although I do like the idea of a God in a peanut.

I don't know, (and the whole reason I'm in this conversation was because I thought it was such an amusing concept I couldn't resist...)
