Growing things are alive, that's how they grow.

If it makes you feel better, many plants want their seeds to be eaten so they can be spread. It's more like eating semen than eating a person.

You could have just said that straight away. Not an issue for anyone on lemmy if you are into eating semen, you didn't need say trees are racist

I was using our social construct of race as a (bad) metaphore for species selection when deciding how much to support other trees. But now a second person is digging at it, thats a sign for me to discard that descriptor in future conversations. And only plant semen for me please.
