Guest guest Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 All, the question about being fruitarian is an interesting one, and I often tease my boyfriend that I will turn that way, just to drive him 'round the bend when we eat out! :*) But seriously, I have heard of studies that state that house plants emit a very high frequency (higher than dogs hearing by far) 'scream' when they die, I don't know if this is all species, or what, but an interesting thought none the less! Also, I don't like maple syrup. I don't like the idea of a plant (sorry, rather large tree) being 'bled' for my delight in a topping. Seems wrong to me. The same with some kinds of rubber, yeah?

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Plants: how can someone say they heard them "scream," when it's too high for dogs to hear? What kind of equipment did they use? Maple syrup: yeah, it's kind of like eating tree blood, or something. But look at the alternatives- honey, corn syrup with caramel food coloring, or molasses.--(Is that from a tree, too?) Rubber: okay, I need to take botany 101 or something, because I had no idea that rubber came from trees.----Ya know, it's almost impossible to be 100% free of animal products in one's life. It's all about effort. How hard does one try, with the resources one has, to care about the environment? *This message was brought to you by: Amy >"Chelle Whitaker" > > > Fruitarian? >Sun, 4 May 2003 22:57:20 +1000 (AUS Eastern Standard Time) > >All, > >the question about being fruitarian is an interesting one, and I often tease >my boyfriend that I will turn that way, just to drive him 'round the bend >when we eat out! :*) But seriously, I have heard of studies that state that >house plants emit a very high frequency (higher than dogs hearing by far) >scream' when they die, I don't know if this is all species, or what, but an >interesting thought none the less!
