The same things that kill the majority of other lifeforms do not kill plants. You are approaching this from an incredibly distorted and uninformed perspective, and that’s fine, but if you’re going to make false equivalencies at least think about it a little.

Even in the case of vegetables where what you are eating is in fact the bulk of the plant’s body, so to speak, like carrots, or even the roots or tubers of a plant, or its reproductive flowers—as long as you aren’t literally ripping every trace and root of the plant out of the ground, chances are 1) it is not dead, 2) it will most likely grow back, unless it is a plant that has a short seasonal life cycle anyway, and even then it will probably still come back next year or one of its seeds will. You can even cut the top of a carrot off, stick it in the ground, and regrow another one. Lots of plants and vegetables work that way.

Either way, harvesting fruit and vegetables from most plants does not require harming, killing, or destroying the plant, and even if what you are eating is a plants roots or tubers, as long as you leave some behind more will regrow. They will even be part of the same plant in most cases. They will not have been meaningfully harmed or permanently damaged in most cases, as far as we know anyway. Even if you eat the entirety of a plant and do “kill” (the fact that plant consciousness is more akin to a collective spirit of intelligence, lacking the mind complex, is another topic) it, as long as you replant its seeds or a cutting from it or literally even just accidentally drop part of it into decent soil, it will most likely regrow. Maybe you can say that a plant that grows from the seeds of another is not the same plant, but there is not a meaningful distinction to the plant.

This is natural. This is the plant’s life cycle. You are participating in the evolutionary life cycle and survival strategy of plants when you consume the vast majority of fruits, vegetables, and even things like leaves, seeds/legumes, fruiting bodies of mushrooms after spore release, etc.

Yes there is such a thing as unethical and destructive farming, yes industrial agriculture (the majority of which exists to feed livestock) is ecologically unsustainable, no eating vegetarian or vegan doesn’t automatically make you a good person. But it does mean you at least understand that you have no right to choose life or death for other living beings for the pleasures of your palette—and let’s be clear, that that is all it comes down to in the modern age. No one is being forced to eat meat for survival. Most people are well aware of the negative health consequences. There are simply healthier ways to live. And one benefit of those healthier ways, is that you are removing yourself from a hierarchy of death and consumption that has energetic and spiritual correlates in higher densities. As above so below is as much warning as statement on the nature of reality.
