To take this line if thought to the extreme, I see the same will to live in peace in a carrot.
Then you should go see a doctor. Plants don't have "a will". You need sentience and a subjective experience of existence for that.
Says you. They certainly have a will to reproduce, get sunlight, get water.
Ok. So anything that doesn't have a subjective experience of existence is morally fine to eat.
Under your rules we can morally eat people in comas.
Ah, I agree! If fruits and vegetables deserve moral consideration because they "want to live," then coma patients, clearly not demonstrating any ambition, are demonstrably and ethically fair game. I mean, they're just lying there, right? No subjective experiences, taking up valuable hospital space and depleting emotional energy while not contributing anything... a head of cabbage with a Medicare plan.
Waste not, want not.
