Do you ever think about the life of the animal when you are eating it ? I have been doing this more recently as alot of the chicken in the mexican food I am having in the new neighborhood is more gamey tasting.

I think cows should be born fully cooked between two pieces of french bread covered in mayo and tapatio. |

Although I did recently explain to my 4-year-old that the chicken she was eating at the time comes from the animal of the same name. Her 10-year-old sister filled in with, "steak comes from cows, and bacon comes from pigs". She looked puzzled for a moment and then went back to eating. |

This even applies for our chickens and pig that we raised ourselves and slaughtered. (Actually, I think of all the work I had to do to raise the things, and relish me eating them.) |

While juggling the retrospective musings on the lives of 7 lbs. of boiled shellfish, you start to get their dreams and aspirations mixed up.

Mrs Relic is a vegetarian and the reason why is kind of funny in a sick sorta way. I laugh every time I think of this story although she would probably kill me if she knew I was posting this... but it's too good to not share, here goes:
back when she was about 6 or 7, she and her sister had a pet rooster named "Turbo" that used to roam her back yard. He was apparently pretty tame as roosters go. They used to carry him around and play with him, etc etc as if he was their surrogate per dog or cat.
So one day they get invited by relatives (her Aunt and Uncle) the next town over for Christmas dinner. Her mom announces, "you can bring Turbo if you want". So early the next morning, all excited, they get Turbo all presentable and hop the bus with him and family for the next town. (This wasn't in the USA)
You can kind of figure where this one is going, can't you?
So anyway, the family arrives, Turbo gets an unusually warm welcome as the Aunt grabs him and makes a big fuss over him.
The sisters and cousins go off and play for hours and hours until...dinner time. Mmmmm smells goooood.
They all sit down for a sumptuous meal of all sorts of tropical vegetables, breads, cheese and ....chicken. Fresh chicken.
So they're all eating and her male cousins are snorting and laughing uncontrollably. Finally Mrs Relic asks "hey...where's Turbo?"
The cousins gleefully blurt out that she and her sis just ate him!!
They instantly both run out and throw up.
Her mom had apparently offered Turbo as Christmas dinner as he was getting old and she figured, why not he was probably going to die soon anyway?
At any rate, that's how Mrs Relic became a vegetarian
