[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m also vegetarian and while I don’t find it weird that people (or other carnivores) eat meat, I do find it strange that little kids are taught to think of farm animals as cute cuddly creatures but not give a thought to the fact that they are mostly being raised for slaughter.[/quote]

Lol.  My parents live on a farm, and my kids grew up visiting them several times a year. We were always very open and forthright about the destiny of those animals, but I still remember the light bulb going off in toddler DC's head one night at dinner. We're having chicken for dinner ... I fed the chickens this morning ... they're the same thing???!?  [/quote]

I grew up in farm country and yeah, my granny named all her sheep lambchop and would talk about the animals they were while we ate them.  I get vegetarianism and I get omnivorism but I was really thrown in university when I met people who disliked meat that looked like the animal it was (like they’d eat chicken nuggets but not roast chicken; hamburgers were fine but roasted fish grossed them out).  That was a mental disconnect that I could never fully understand.[/quote]

I had an aunt that didn't know what eggs were. I grew up on a farm. You don't name your food. It makes it hard to eat.[/quote]

Only if you name it cutsy names like you'd give a pet. If you name your pig Porkchop, everyone is ok eating it later. It's a constant reminder of what the pig's purpose is, so you never get attached or think of them as a pet.[/quote]
