Eating isn't scapegoating, even if it means something had to die to do it. Scapegoating is putting your crimes on something or someone else, and acting as if that absolves your wrongdoing. Glossing over the fact that you're harming something innocent in the process, because apparently innocent and pure things make the best sacrifices.
Yes, unless your dies is nothing but fruit, and the non root part of vegetables, you're killing something to eat. But you have to eat to live, so it's not a criminal act. Unless you're just killing for the sake of killing. In which case praying over a goat, or killing a different thing, is not making the problem go away.
I'm tempted to just erase this response and say "An apple and leafy greens because killing is wrong", and see where you take this argument.
If that is your definition of scapegoating then it doesn't apply to Christianity.
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. - John 6:35
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you - John 6:53
So giving ones life in order for someone else to live is not evil according to your own statement.
