I'm thumb typing this playing (well, it's paused) a very murder-y video game.
So I think the answer is yes and no, in large part because killing someone in a video game doesn't usually feel like hurting someone in real life. And likewise eating a meat dish doesn't feel like hurting someone. Difference is, someone is hurt by the production of meat, but not by playing a video game or calling a mushroom a "steak" because it fills the role of a steak on your plate.
