Killing animals and putting them on a bun is clearly harmful to them by your definition. Would you say that you are therefore objectively morally wrong to do so?
Stepping on ants is clearly harmful to them. Do you cower at home in a vacuum-sealed room to prevent harming ants?
Or is it possible that since you don't have particularly strong emotions about the well-being of ants, that you go walking willy-nilly all over the place despite the objectively immoral harm that you might be inflicting? Is it possible that because your monkey brain likes eating meat, you will suppress any feelings of sympathy you might have toward the suffering of other living things so that you might increase your own enjoyment?
