If you are implying that eating meat is STS, then you are judging the polarity of the act of a 3D entity which Ra said is impossible.
If we were talking about raping and killing humans (other than self-defense), no one would be protesting at all. No one would be disagreeing that in general, those actions tend to be inherently STS polarizing. I've tried repeatedly to test this hypothesis. Everyone has stopped short of saying "Oh sure, it's ok to rape and murder humans! Go for it!" Neither has anyone said "Oh gosh, I couldn't possibly say that raping and killing humans is inherently STS because that is impossible." No, on the contrary, people have said things like "Well of course it's negative to rape and kill humans" and "obviously it's negative to rape and kill humans".
So the logic fails.
