In essence you are right there is no difference between anything because all is Consciousness
We all share the same essence with element mineral plant animal God
But most of us live and function in the apparent reality with its abundant diversity of forms and level of awareness
So it is natural and practical to make distinctions regarding for instance what to eat what to avoid whatever
Common sense says not to approach the tiger eventho in essence it is same as us namely Consciousness but who thinks twice about lifting a little kitten
So we have to eat
But its no good argument to say plants are conscious too so we might as well eat animals also
There is a distinction in the level of awareness between plants and animals
Consciousness is awake in the Animal Kingom
Consciousness is dreaming in the Vegetable Kingdom
Also i believe the effect of animal slaughter with its blood and gore affect us more adversly then the harvest of plants
Again in essence all is Consciousness
And we live in a world where practical distinctions ought to be made
