sometimes you get

MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'Transform' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it.
Your script should either check if it is null or you should not destroy the object.

transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(startPosition, targetTransform.position, t);
Maybe problem not in transform.position but in a targetTransform.position.

Imagine, when coroutine starts targetTransform is already dying, and when it was dead, there will be NRE, because food that was being consumed is still alive. Possible solution is just remember position of targetTransform before starting to wait. Or pooling objects (then there never be nre).
