# Debate 1
## Proposition
> "Plants don't want to be eaten because they can get scared, stressed, or horny"
## Analysis
1. plants can get scared, stressed, or horny
2. fear: tries to protect itself by making itself taste like shit
3. stress: chemical communication to other X
4. horny: has a means of reproduction
5. want: inclination or movement toward something
6. clock: has an internal clock
