I'm a vegan. I eat lots of fruit, veggies, tofu, and other plant-based food. However, I am not a plant. I am confident that I am human.
The same logic applies to meat eaters. Meat eaters, I am confident that you are not a cow or chicken. "You are what you eat" doesn't make sense for you either.
Cannibals are what they eat. They eat humans and are humans themselves. The saying actually makes sense for them.
I'm sorry but I just don't understand this phrase and why it is so popular.

All the cannibal jokes aside, "You are what you eat" means that what you eat reflects on you as a person. I could probably stand some improvement, myself.

If I'm a vegan, how does that reflect on me? I see myself as having the moral highground and being more compassionate than carnivores but I want your opinion.

Well, on a basic level, I assume eating healthy is better, so you've got that. But on a deeper level, limiting yourself to non-meat-and-dairy foods may show that you lack a well-rounded appreciation for food and thus for the things that are enjoyable in life. I pretty much made that up just now, though.
