Hunger could no longer be a motive , for greek slaves supplied them with exquisite viands at the slightest nod .

饥饿不可能再是一个动机，因为只需轻轻一点头，希腊奴隶就会奉上精美佳肴。

Given the ( possible ) moral status and ( very possible ) physical suffering of the animals involved , what ethical convictions do gourmets evolve that allow them not just to eat but to savor and enjoy flesh-based viands ( since of course refined enjoyment , rather than just ingestion , is the whole point of gastronomy ) ?

考虑到龙虾（可能存在的）道德状态以及（极其可能承受的）身体痛苦，那些鼓吹在进餐之外，享用风味各种肉类菜肴（美食的基础并非教育人们如何果腹，而是追求食不厌精的享受）的美食家们，又抱有何种伦理信条？
