Nono, not acknowledging the sacrifices of the first people to forage a wild hot pocket and try it, blind to the knowledge of if it was edible or thermally safe is immoral.

When you eat a bowl of berries you're relying on the sacrifices of unpaid and forgotten people who tried them first and didn't die.
When you eat a heaping bowl of pop tarts ™ you're relying on the sacrifices of paid and forgotten people who tried them first and didn't die in legally actionable numbers.

The key to solving the immorality of exploiting these people is money, because money solves morality.
