Am I missing something or does this completely miss the first law of thermodynamics?

All energy generated is 'thermal pollution', whether you use it to run a heater, move a boat, or dig a hole in the ground.

    If youre interested in context:

    After avoiding meat for enough years, contamination with corpses of dead animals or their fluids* becomes very unpalatable.

    That might be hard to conceive for a person who views it as tasty food rather than body parts, but so it goes.

    I surprised myself recently when i accidentally ordered a chicken burger at a drive through. Nobody would have known if id eaten it. it was already prepared/dead/whatever.

    I couldn't do it. While logically i know its edible, it registered akin to eating bugs or something. So i went without lunch

    * 'dramatic' vegan language used for clarity on how this is perceived when no longer 'food'.
