Isn't the idea behind Food Song pretty much the same as that behind Peaceful Cut? I figured that the plant had a spirit that went back into the earth to be reborn. Ah, to use an evil God Learnish OOP source, _Cults of Prax_: that spell makes it so that the plant won't be "hurt or offended and, if killed, will return in peace to Aldyra's bosom". So plants have spirits that can be offended, presumably.
One could Disrupt blades of grass for POW gains!:) Well, maybe not. One could Tap them, though.
