After the invention of a low-volume sound detector, scientists have discovered that vegetables may have nerves and conscious of their own. There will be a screaming sound whenever vegetables are being cut. A loyal member of Vegetarian and Animal Cruelty organizations Abraham was shocked when he heard this news. After doing a similar experiment, he realizes his past belief was all wrong. He questioned the morality of being a vegetarian. His colleagues Judy and Erin try to talk him through this situation. But it eventually ends up with a big argument which reveals Erin’s true reason of being a vegetarian is nothing but trying to stay fit, and Judy is just a regular social justice warrior who protest whatever on trend. So, what is the right thing to do? While Erin continues to live as a vegetarian for selfish reasons, Judy changes her side to protest vegetable cruelty, what should Abraham do? Choosing to eat mass production meats for the rest of his life, or continue to be a cruel vegetarian who ignores the sensitive nerves on these plants…?
