How many times is it acceptable to kill/torture something just to break a habit? For me, once was too much.

Focusing on the moral aspect and remembering where the meat came from can help a lot for many people. BUT if you're hungry enough, you'd eat your own mother. At a certain point, the hanger takes over and everything else just goes dull.
I have a feeling now that the main issue was not eating enough. It takes a lot of discipline to overcome hunger and resist the urge to eat anything in reach. And working at a fast food place, I can see how that could make it worse.
I think if he focuses on filling up well, and not skimping on enough volume, and enough healthier fat content, the main craving should go away and the rest aught to be manageable.
