I really wish I went when I was in California. The people I was with however didn't see value in going. I'll probably go next time which should be after Harry Potter is already open.

Same here, but it leaves something to see for "next time". When I went, I too cut that from my itinerary over the advise of many people. I just couldn't fit it in with everything else I wanted to do.

What someone says on camera and what they think are often two different things.
Plants have feelings too.

Remarkably, yes, although it's Artegon Mall these days, and looks like a flea market inside. Also one in Crossroads on 535.
A Town Hall meeting is an event where those involved have the opportunity to get information about a given subject.
An all rock diet for you too? My favorite is onyx.
Correct. When interviewed by the local news I claimed that I knew nothing about all the arson and murders going on.

Duh! What is going on with this particular town hall meeting? The "WDI DAK Expansion" sign makes this most curious...

How can they have feelings when they don't even have a nervous system to process those feelings and why am I even answering this? Lol

Stray observation, in light of the insistence on an ongoing WDW v. Uni debate ...
Was at Disney Springs Wednesday. Walkways packed. New stores and existing restaurants? Not so much. <10% of those walking around carried bags, and a plurality of those were from World of Disney. If you can't sell guests on a $150 pair of sunglasses, are they really going to go for a $150/person dinner?
Meanwhile, the Orlando Eye will open by May ... and is basically bringing the new Church St. Station with it. Tin Roof Orlando is already a hit. The other venues look promising, and Mangos, which is within walking distance, just started hiring. Disney Springs and CityWalk are both about to get whalloped this Summer. Sea World will probably get hit worst of all ($37 includes the Eye and Sea Life aquarium and a couple other tourist traps).
Just a reminder the real story isn't always captured online.

Plants are self aware.
That with a side of fried O2

I think CityWalk will come out better than Disney Springs. It helps to have 40k+ people walking through your venue to spend money versus utilizing outdated transportation system or driving.

There's plenty of evidence that plants can respond to certain outside stimuli to some extent, it is not however evidence of self awareness or actual pain in the sense that animals experience. Just autonomic preservation responses to the environment (as much as it can muster without a central nervous system). Pain is a brain's interpretation of harmful stimuli, it goes beyond simple autonomic responses exhibited by simpler living organisms such as plants. Most living organisms, even the most base, have some sort of self preservation mechanism built into their genetic code. Even certain complex DEAD animals can still exhibit movement to stimuli for some period after their death. A beheaded snake body can continue to move for some time after, and the head can even bite things that "provoke" it. And there are videos of dead octopus where soy sauce is poured over their bodies and their limbs move quite a bit due to an electrical response in the nerves. Doesn't mean the organisms are still alive and "self aware" or that they can feel pain, it's relegated to simple autonomic chemical responses to certain stimuli (such as nerves that are still active after the brain ceases major activity).
I am myself also a vegetarian of over 10 years (vegan for most of that), though it doesn't extend to being grossed out by the thought of eating meat. I'm no raging nut by any stretch of the imagination (in contrast to the obnoxious jackass hypocrites at PETA). Ethics do factor into it to some substantial degree (it was what made me try the diet to begin with), but it's a heavily health based diet for me as well (which is not something I expected going into this). Besides general health benefits such as some weight loss and blood pressure normalization, I developed various food intolerances in my youth that a non-meat/dairy diet helps to neutralize. Meat and dairy had always caused me digestive issues even as a child, and dairy in particular inflames painful respiratory problems I started to develop as a teen (certain vegetable sources such as grains, tree nuts and peanuts can even cause issues). I wouldn't say it's a diet that everyone should follow (though I would perhaps argue that more people could stand to experiment and dabble with it given the abysmal American diet), but it definitely works for me regardless of the ethics behind it.
