饭要一口一口吃,仗要一个一个打

Hey, I'm working on a translation and have hit a snag with this phrase. Google and Baidu searches didn't really turn up anything useful...is anyone familiar with what 饭要一口一口吃,仗要一个一个打 means?

Heres the context if that helps: "别她们她们的,她,就一个,一个随便你怎么交流,饭要一口一口吃,仗要一个一个打。有时你那种老少咸宜、兼容并蓄的气魄使每个有正义感的人都感到气愤,那不道德……”

Thanks for any help you can offer!

More details would be helpful. Given the context, I would translate it as:

deal with them one by one. (free version)

eat rice mouthful by mouthful (literal version. the second part can be omitted in my opinion as it states the same thing.)
