Although this is normally considered pseudoscience or simply paranormal by most i believe it to be true due to the understanding of consciousness we have gained from esoteric material such as a the Law of One. They found that if the meal be it the eggs, vegetable or fruit was blessed via something like saying grace it didn't have the negative reaction towards pain.
The believe is that there is an underlining source or ether that space and time are manifesting out of which at the lowest level is simply a fluid like wave or vibration. However that goes more into esoteric physics.
There is no question that plant life has a consciousness. The question is whether each blade of grass has an individual sentience and can feel pain each time someone walks on it. I agree that farming practices that just mow down huge fields of plants obviously inflict suffering on the plants, no question about it. But it's more of an energetic thing because of the disrespect shown towards life, rather than each corn plant feeling individual fear and pain. I say this based on what we know from the Law of One about early 2D consciousness - that it is more of a group consciousness, rather than individual - plus what we know about pain receptors in the body, plus common sense (see the links I posted earlier about plants...are they in constant agony just because they get stepped on? What kind of sadistic Logos would design them that way?).
There is also no question that the farmer who lovingly tends his fields and treats the plants with respect, is embraced rather than feared, at harvest time. Tests have shown that plants lovingly harvested don't register the same response.
Granted, this is subject to interpretation, but it makes total sense, if we think about it.
On the other hand, no animal willingly goes to the slaughter, no matter how 'lovingly' they are coaxed.
