Then I'll live my life so as to not cause unnecessary suffering. For what it's worth, that still means eating plants as I need to (thus its necessary) and it still reduces the total amount of plants being eaten when compared to diets with animal products.

But does anyone really believe plants are sentient? Nope! So we are likely able to completely avoid needing to worry about that.

Plenty of people do believe that plants are sentient. It is a part of plenty of spiritual belief systems that ascribe life, spirit, and sentience to all living things, and often many nonliving things.
