The difference is, in your example, that we have lived our lives and died of natural causes and then the worms feast on us. The animals raised as food
live in tortuous situations and then their lives are
prematurely ended in order to be packaged and sold at market for consumption. Don't the animals deserve to live out their lives in peaceful co-existence with humans? When they have died naturally, consume their shell if you must to satisfy your hunger.
