when are they "dead"? is it when you pull them out of the ground or is it when you cook them/eat them.

The simple answer is yes.
All living things feel on their own level. Research into just this, has proved for instance that the humble tomato plant, experiences what in our terms we would explain as pain, when it's fruit is picked from it's vine.
The inability to scream or move away doesn't indicate an absence of any feeling or sensation.
A leading research team at Nottingham university in the UK, have resently shown, using fruit trees. That when grown near a moderatly powerful heat sourse, which would otherwise endanger the plants health.
The fruit trees in question actually grow away from the danger. Exibiting at least some rudementry survival instinct.

They are probably 'dead' when they are cooked, or have been left out for a long time, out of water or the ground. Of course they feel. In a less obvious way than animals or people, but they are living creatures that grow and die.

Vegetables deserve a healthy life just like any animal does. Of course they feel. Then there's all those bugs killed by the pesticides... .How do you think they feel?

Okay, I'm going to say no. On the other hand, if the answer is yes, I am filling up with immense guilt after all of these years!!!!!

I hear they can feel but as long as they don't have eyeballs and brains then I'll eat them over flesh anyday.....everything feels...even trees.

no they dont feel anything - they dont have a nervous system in order to feel pain.
