My increasing concern for the state of my relationship with meat Vol I


Growing up I had a very healthy relationship with meat. I lived in a meat eating house, with meat eaters. I ate meat everyday, sometimes more than once. Meat and I were a-ok.

Somewhere along the line, things shifted. Maybe it was the increasing number of vegetarian friends I've made/lived with, or my change in taste, or this: http://bacontoday.com/turbaconducken-turducken-wrapped-in-bacon/ , but I just don't care for it the way I used to.

The thing is, I'm not concerned about the fact that I'm consuming less meat, but that everytime I eat something, meat-centric or otherwise, I think about it. I would guess that on average I think about meat approximately 66% more of the time than I used to.

(based on arbitrary reasoning and numbers I made up).
