I don't want to attack you or anything, just want to point out that no living thing wants to die. There is evidence that even plants have some form of sensation [1]

Of course living things don't want to die. But if you decide that all living things including plants deserve to not be eaten or harvested, your menu becomes incredibly short.

I mean, you are not left with absolutely nothing to eat, but all you've got that I can think of is dairy, fruit and nuts. You could technically eat grains, but harvesting enough grain without killing the plant is difficult.
