You'd think that if our food were really still living they would be glad to *not* be eaten.
People have told me however, that I would often talk about my stuffed animals as if they were living things, like when I thought I should give them away because I didn't role-play with them as much, and that they should be owned a kid would would really enjoy them, especially if they can't afford to have many good toys. But if I did I'd often end up missing them and realize I'd never see them again.
Darn you, Toy Story! Darn you to heck!
I also have a problem with my video games. I've sold or given away games after beating them and then regretting it, even though I probably won't replay it unless it's to see the different endings. It's as if the characters in the games I've grown attached to are gone from my life and having other things like plushies or pictures or even a video of the gameplay just reminds me of that. I especially wish I hadn't sold my first Pikmin game, even though I beat it and got to see all the endings.

I forgot about toy story! I don't know how I could have though. My youngest son was obsessed with it as a kid. He watched it every day and had a Buzz Lightyear and a Woody. Although his favorite toy was his Tazmanian Devil beanie baby.

Personifying toys seems to be quite a common thing, based on the responses here! I don't think Toy Story is just to blame (though it probably has made it a bit worse).
But that's an interesting point... Maybe food does want to be eaten because it would then be fulfilling its inherent purpose. If a piece of food was left on the plate, it might assume that it is not loved and did not live up to its expectations as a piece of food.

Not an object but I do consider the right of the first word that I double type by accident to "live" while the second one is deleted...

I do this, too. I go out of my way to let the first words/letters typed stay. lol
We once smashed a coconut because we couldn't figure out how to open it. It got all nasty because we smashed it on the ground, and we had to throw most of it away, but I felt so bad that I destroyed the shell, who was just doing his job and protecting the innards.
It takes a lot of work for me to detach enough to throw something away. I've kept ruined shirts just because I felt that they had been nice and loyal and I wanted to let them retire in peace in my closet. It's not really peaceful in there, though.

Most of my "ruined" T-shirts end up as things like pillow cases because I've usually had so much fun in them that throwing them away is also tossing part of the memory.
