Do you remember there was something written about experiments in this line?
Was it in The Secret Life of Plants? I seem to recall something about a
scientist burning the leaf of a plant with a cigarette and then the plant
was hooked up to electrodes to register its 'reactions'. When the same man
entered the room again there was - apparently - a distinct reaction from the
plant. I may not be remembering this very clearly but it was along those
lines.

Is this thread leading to giving up eating food all together? ;-)

If taken to its logical conclusion it's going to given vegans and
vegetarians food for nothing but thought. ;-)
