As someone who enjoys meat, I'm excited to be able to finally get options that don't involve killing something to get there.

Plants are living things. If you want to eat without killing then you'd need ab initio synthesized nutrients or subsist on detritus.

If I were the parent I would've phrased that differently. But, as long as we're being pedantic, eating from plants is possible without killing the organism.

Not profitably. Cows can't be kept recently-pregnant without way too many calves; half of chicks are useless males.

This is a big step, but don't forget that commercial layers are also slaughtered very young after egg production wanes.

Yes but with animals the parts you harvest don't grow back.

Sorry, that doesn't involve killing something with a face.
