There still remains the problem - they were raised for the ethically iffy purpose of being our lunch. E.g. you could make the same argument about 'wild' humans, were we don't try to justify raising, killing and eating them. Of course its different, but how different? That's the issue.

I don't see any ethical dilemma with feeding yourself. Everything you eat was alive at one time. If it's unethical to eat, why not just kill yourself now? How do you even justify being alive?

Silly; you don't have to eat meat. Obviously the point.
