Is there anyway to animate an object then midway through, the object disappears or part of it disappears? I'm trying to animate a vegetable being eaten away.

you can do the old duplicate geometry visibility switch parlor trick. basically you have two copies of the exact same vegetable, except the second one is sliced away where it is eaten. while one is visible, the other is invisible via keying either the visibility on the geometry or the shader itself. That should get you your desired results.
