The problem only exists for beings with some sort of mind that has moral relevance. I would guess that most vegetarians believe that animals have such a mind, but not carrots.
So what happens when you engineer a "mind that has moral relevance" out of an animal?
And going a bit upthread, what do you mean by acts that are "bad in themselves"?
I'm not a vegetarian myself. I was just describing how people think. I don't know that they have a coherent concept of "acts that are bad in themselves".
