'Minds' of plants

Another example of sensationalistic hack reporting. Would have expected to
see badly written garbage like that in a rag like The Weekly World News.
Dumbing down the news is bad enough but completely misinterpreting
information is almost inexcusable. This person tries to make to story
something worthy of the X-files but even Mulder and Scully would know better
than to believe such nonsense.

Biochemical responses to stimuli are not even remotely the same as
intelligence but all of you here are already well aware of that. There is
nothing new about plants producing toxins either.

The truth is way out there!!!

Rampant anthropomorphism. As I said in a previous post, it is all done with
chemical responses, and has nothing whatever to do with thinking.BRBR

No, no! ... thinking is all done with electric signals.
This talk of people thinking with their hormones is just talk ;-)
