Ya. I don’t see the difference. Death is death. Intent matters not. If one option were to cause little death, I could see why someone would use death as an argument. As far as I can’t tell calorie for calorie vegetables cause more death in the period of growth and harvest.

Beef is obviously worse for the environment long term. Which one could argue matters more. But that is not the subject here.

There is no more a viable technical solution to eliminate death in mass scale vegetable production than there is in meat production. Whether it be the dream of lab grown meat, or magical land free pesticide free lab grown strawberries.
