Pretty sure lava will quickly turn any organic matter to steam and carbon dioxide. Any creature falling in will likely be converted in seconds. Environmental impact is miniscule. May be considered disrespectful if you believe one is throwing trash at a god.

It started more as roasting the mashmallows over the lava in order to eat them, now they are just wastefully just tossing them in for no real reason.

Not sure I would want to eat something that was cooking over molten heavy metals and gases.... pretty sure it would be toxic.

That being said the 'outrage' is hilarious.

Aren't food offerings a traditional way to show respect to gods? I mean marshmallows are a bit far from the definition of "food", but no one eating them seems bothered by this.

There's a difference between a steak dinner on a plate versus rice and beans thrown at you.

You can also do it without it being disrespectful, which requires intention
