I think it depends on where you get your meat, eggs, and dairy.
A proper farm where the animals are kept safe, healthy, and happy for longer than they’d live in the wild, and in the case of meat killed quickly and painlessly? That could be considered morally okay.
Factory farms where they lead short, filthy miserable lives, constantly being bred to maximize milk production? Nah, that is not morally okay.
Carnism is the typically unconscious and unexamined belief that cruelty and violence to vulnerable individuals such as livestock can sometimes be good or acceptable. It’s not. The more you pick at it, the more it falls apart. I spent years trying to find ways to be an ethical consumer of other individual’s flesh. It’s fucking impossible, it contains contradictions you can never solve. Your whole idea of a “proper farm” would be laughable if it wasn’t such a horrifying and self-serving delusion. Just stop abusing vulnerable individuals, it’s actually so much easier than trying to consume “ethical meat”.
