A woman abstains from eating animal products for moral reasons. One day while she is hungry, she looks in the fridge and finds a piece of chicken which is going to expire and be thrown out by her meat-eating husband. She eats it. Is this immoral?

Not really Immoral, more Hypocritical than anything.

i wouldn't call it immoral, or hypocritical, especially if the woman hasn't taken any vows to never eat meat again. what you eat is a personal choice, regardless of your reasons. if she ate meat and felt guilty, then at best she made a mistake driven by her stomach, but it's not the end of the world. i don't eat meat because of the way animals are treated, but sometimes i will include meat in my diet as a nutrition check, to see if it makes me feel better (esp. if i am more tired than usual). nothing immoral about it, since i've made no promises to be vegetarian.

No because by eating it she will throw away less. If she doesn't eat it, then it will be thrown away and it's not recyclable.

No. Being a Vegetarian is a personal choice based on some conviction and belief. It has nothing to do with morality.
