Good questions. I have put them to one vegetarian I know. The reason this person stopped eating meat is that she is now “weirded out” by the thought of eating an animal, even though she still likes the taste and misses it. Her replies to all your counterfactuals would be “no” because it’s her personal preference, not a quest for animal rights or against animal suffering, so her logic is self-consistent.
