processing a thanksgiving turkey was all it took for me to stop eating meat. just the smell makes me want to wretch now. I have no clue how anyone butchers an animal and then eats it. it's clearly a carcass, not food.

Humans are the only animal that has to cook meat to be able to consume it.

Yeah. Meat is a pink rectangle I get from the grocery store. If I got TVP instead of animal square I probably wouldn't know the difference. Most people I think could not say the same if they got an animal part instead of a pink square.

I'll go out of my way to protect a spider, but I guess I don't mind eating a bit of fish or even chicken. Then again, I hope to go something of a soft pescatarian someday and have a stomach and knowledge of food that goes beyond that.

I remember seeing bones stick out of a slab of meat, think it was called Rack of Lamb, and that freaked me out.
