It could very well be the case that the tomato we decide to eat in the dead of winter causes more harm than eating some beef. Eating one thing or another "directly" doesn't change the overall picture of suffering. I've tested the limits of peoples harm based ideas on veganism from time to time. If the harm can be reduced or eliminated with an integrated method and more thoughtful distribution..I generally find that the vegan still sides with the livestock. It's not because of the aggregate of harm that a person refers to harm in their diet. It's their level of comfort with being the person applying it.
I've got a simple rule for ethical eating, on that count. If you couldn't do it...you probably shouldn't be eating it.
