I agree that continuing to farm animals ethically solely for the excess products they produce is an achievable, sustainable and ethical goal we should strive for.
If the meat would be wasted anyway then it’s fine to eat. Better us eat it then the maggots. The goal shouldn’t be to just stop people from eating meat, it should be to reduce the amount of animals being bred to serve our taste. If a farmer can only sell the meat after the animal has lived a long life, eating a lot of food that they have to provide, they’ll be less likely to breed them as it wouldn’t be profitable.
