Context:

'Then an old man a keeper of an inn said speak to us of eating and drinking and he said would that you could live on the fragrance of the earth and like an air plant be sustained By the Light but since you must guill to eat and Rob the newly born of its mother's milk to quench your thirst let it be then an act of worship and let your board stand an alter on which the pure and the innocent of forest and plain are sacrificed for that which is purer and still more innocent in man when you kill a beast say to him in Your Heart by the same power that slays you I do am slain and I too shall be consumed for the law that delivered you into my hand shall deliver me into a mightier hand your blood and my blood is not but the sap that feeds the tree of heaven and when you crush an apple with your teeth say to it in your heart your seeds shall live in my body and the birds of your tomorrow shall blossom in my heart and your fragrance shall be my breath and together we shall rejoice through all the seasons and in the Autumn when you gather The Grapes of your wineyard for the wine press say in your heart I too am a vineard and my fruit shall be gathered for the wine press and like new wine I shall be kept in Eternal vessels.'

~ Khalil Gibran

Is eating animals the same as eating plants?
Do animals have more value than plants?
What is the one reason that makes me take plants over animals?
Eating Apples and animals is the same thing?
Who are we?
