For example if you claim to prefer non-existence of animals to them being used as food

The issue is not "being used as food", but being raised in a particularly unpleasant way, much worse than would be experienced in a nature reserve.

And if you're against animal suffering, you'd be totally happy to eat cows genetically modified not to have pain receptors. All positions never taken by any vegetarians.

How many vegetarians have you actually asked this one? I think you'd find many who would be happy with that; I know many say they would eat vat-grown meat.
