The line is shellfish. Most bugs have an interior life of consequence. Maybe some don't. But they would be the exception. If you consider our basal emotional systems are among our oldest it makes sense they would be recapitulated like that. Even a simple neocortext a few ganglions across seems fo be sufficient. The problem in testing is thst they are so small it is hard for usbto symbolicly internalize what inputs might be meaningful to them. For example due to the size of it's eyes an ant could probably never really perceive us. In a fully lovecraftian sense we would be a giant blurry mass with strange apendages and unknowable drives.
However shellfish, even our close cousin cordate ones like the tunicates seem to lack even the basic neocortex found on simple insects. So they are effectively plants made out of meat. So have at them
For the majority of plants we eat it is kinda their kink. They have this vore/breeding thing they have been about for a few million years now, ever since the evolution of angiosperms really, and they largely seem quite well pleased
They can live a better life than in the wild. Not all of them do, but many do. It depends on how efficient and careful the company is, and some companies can be quite careless in their shipping and handling, as @Dirt_Owl said.
I'm not sure what the survival-to-adulthood rate is in the wild but I would guess that it is not very high.

Some plants eat animals. Some fungi prey on animals, too, eating them alive from the inside because nature is metal.
Linear time is capitalist oppression
Fucking finally. I've been saying we need to abolish clocks. At least someone gets it.
Why are want entitled to eating plants though? Jainism is the only veganism that makes sense to me
