[Sausage Party] If all foods, including processed/cooked foods are sentient, when are they "born"?

In the trailer we see a potato horrified at being peeled, however we also see that processed foods are also sentient.

if you make French fries out of a potato, is the potato killed and then each individual fry is born again as a new personality, or do the fries remember being part of the potato? Do the Hotdogs in the trailer remember being a piece of meat? Was that piece of meat sentient before being ground up to make hot dogs?

Do the buns remember being baked or is their first moment of consciousness when they come out of the oven, or when they get cut? But what if the bun was never destined to be cut?

if an Oreo is made of 2 cookies stuck together by cream, are they separate entities until being stuck together, or are they not alive until being stuck together, and again, what if the cream dispenser in the factory misses them and a cream-less oreo is made, are the 2 cookies only half entities?

As you can see, I am quite confused!

I believe this is a case of multiple dimensions. Note that in the trailer we saw the human catch two baby carrots rolling off a counter. The human perceived the carrots as non-sentient vegetables.

There appear to be multiple layers of reality in this universe where each layer is not capable of perceiving another layer.

So Potatoes are not likely able to perceive sentient french fries, and vice versa.

So far we only have 120 seconds of footage to investigate. We will have to wait for the rest of the documentary to be released in order to know which beings can perceive each other.
