I believed until I was 8 or so that beans were a type of meat. When I learned the truth, I had an argument with my older brother with me saying something along the line, "You're gonna feel real dumb when Mom says I'm right."
I'll admit to thinking this too ~~and being~~ when I was a little bit older than 8, so you can feel better now.
I am going to say this is like 30% accurate. Mushroom are pretty much actually meat. Shellfish are actually the opposite they are plants made of meat.
I get what you are saying but you were on to something.

no, no they do not. Complex nerves only make sense if you move around a lot and can react quickly to your environment.
