Mob AI not immediately finding object it is looking for, and crashing when it eats food?

I added a statement that randomly chooses a detected object as equal to the Food variable as long as it is named "Apple". Although this made it so if there is an apple, the slime will always target it right away, the slimes still have trouble finding the one that is closest, along with that, the slimes have really jerky and weird movement when moving towards food, and will sometimes wander off when they are attempting to go towards the food. Sometimes the game will still crash when a slime eats another slimes targeted food, but it does not happen as often now for some reason. I also realized that the multiple terrain objects it was detecting was mostly trees and bushes, which are part of the terrain.
