Is becoming a vegetarian/vegan worth it?

Research has shown that plants can indeed have something approximating "thinking and remembering"

Interesting links.  This evidence is usually trotted out by omnivores, and yet it's a strong pro-vegan argument.  A human can exist on eating a very small number of plants, but an omnivore consumes the remnants of gigantic quantities of plans, after they've been filtered through the bodies of about 300 animals (approximately the amount of animals the average omnivore eats per year).  If you're concerned that plants feel pain, then go vegan as you'll eat hundreds (perhaps thousands) of times more plants in your life as an omnivore than you would as a vegan.

I was just answering his statement with research, my concern is not with plants feeling pain
