Don’t get caught up in all this scholastic logic and enlightenment indivudalism. The Lord was speaking with the plural ‘you’ here. The Lord feeds the Church with Himself and it would not be the Church if He did not.

Is logic not supposed to be scholastic? Would you rather engage in "emotional logic"? I'm not even going to take a stab at "enlightenment indivudalism".

I don't think a plural "you" would make any difference, but Jesus was clearly talking about individuals:

Jn 6:50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.
