Another way to reframe this is to ask if this is a free action, rather than a good or bad one. Free as in free from animal passions that compel one to act in a pseudo-deterministic way ("I am hungry so I eat", "I am scared so I run"), and instead according to higher-order reason and principle only humans (so far) have access to. So, if we choose meat for a meal in an automatic way because our tongue asks for it, it might be an unfree choice. But if we do so after some consideration, including factors beyond our bodily impulses, it could be seen as a choice made by a free person. This my take/interpretation of Immanuel Kant's transcendental freedom[1].
