I disagree, and even devised a test to prove or disprove that theory. I have repeatedly tried telling people that eating tomatoes is STS, and they laughed at the absurdity of it.

The only way anyone could say it's not morally wrong is if they lack compassion. Looking into the eyes of a sentient being who feels pain and fear, and brutally killing them anyway, is immoral.
If that's not immoral, then there is no such thing as morality or ethics (which a lot of people here apparently believe). By that logic, then any other brutality is ok too...rape, murder, pedophilia, senseless wars, whatever...anything goes.
