    This is a strange reading. Having sex might be wrong, depending on circumstance and motivations. Driving your car might be wrong, depending on circumstance and motivations. Going back to your very colorful poop analogy, defecating on the dining room table is probably wrong; in the toilet would be correct. So is taking a poop morally right or not? Stealing food for a starving child would be morally right; stealing under most circumstances is wrong. There are many, many activities that "might be wrong."

    Killing an animal for food is, to my way of thinking, morally ambiguous. There are strong, sane, cogent arguments to be made for and against. So it "might" be wrong. Does that mean I should never eat meat?

    @drone, wouldn't that make meat prep a little ... messy? On the other hand, instant shredded rabbit might be an interesting dish ...

    I don't understand how the economic and ecological are fundamentally separated from the moral. A good solution is a complete solution. Also, I don't understand equating, say, a stalk of wheat with a cute little bunny. Killing a blade of grass is surely different from killing a deer, yes?
