Have you ever looked at meat, and found yourself feeling sick, or even disgusted, at the idea of eating it?

Yes.

Also just at seeing it, without even thinking about eating it.

After it’s cooked by someone else, yeah.

Meat in general, no.

Specific cuts, yes. For example, there is a small population who love to eat beef tongue. To me that is utterly gross and an unappealing.

But then, I don’t like fish where they have not taken away the head, either. I don’t need to see fish eyes,

I agree that food from the UK is often gross.

As far as cuts of meat that I’ve personally seen, after they’re cooked, no.

It is the UK cooking techniques, but not all of the foods. I love bubble & squeak and steak & kidney pie.

Yes. Especially within the past couple of years. I don’t think I will ever go vegetarian or vegan, but I do eat less meat than I used to.

I’m with @Demosthenes. I would like to be a vegetarian but I’ll never go completely there. But when I look at raw meat or think about where it came from, it certainly puts me off. And it has nothing to do with whether it’s from the UK or US or wherever, it’s the fact that it’s from an animal.

Raw liver is disgusting. It becomes worse when cooked.
I hate chopped-up-stomach soup.
I can not stand slices of pure fat in roulades.

If it has turned green, yes.
Raw liver looks just awful! And if it’s in the house, I will know it when I walk in the door.

Occasionally corporate farm chicken disgusts me. Anything local is preferable.

I’m a vegetarian who will on rare occasions eat locally sourced seafood. Modern factory farming of raising meat makes me sad. That said, I’m poor so I buy cheap eggs and cheese. When I can afford it, I buy pasture raised eggs and cheese from small family-owned dairies.

I’m not perfect.

Nope. Looking at meat has never fazed me. I haven’t eaten anything mammalian in forever, but back in the day the only red meat I would cook was game, and that was always icky to handle.
But just looking at it? Nope. No negative reaction.

You’d have to really stretch your imagination to find it gross.

When it’s raw….very often. If I see or smell fish before it’s cooked there is no way I will eat it. I used to always buy whole chickens but getting them ready to cook absolutely caused nausea sometimes. I buy boneless skinless ones now. Also, I can’t eat from a bone. I cannot understand how people can stand to have a bone on their plate. Gawww!

No, but I was desensitized at a young age. When I was around seven or eight, my old, Italian uncle would take me to the North End with him pretty regularly. This is basically Boston’s Little Italy. We’d always end up at his friend’s butcher chop. They’d chat over espresso while the butcher friend chopped up carcasses of lamb and cow in front of me. He has bunnies hanging in the window of his shop, sliced open but still all furry. Doesn’t really faze me.

@SnipSnip You would be AMAZED at how much flavor comes from the bone.

When I think about it, yes. I feel terrible for the animals. Unfortunately, I don’t think about it too often, and I enjoy eating meat.

My entire life my aunt was a vegetarian until she died a few years ago, so I grew up always knowing a vegetarian who didn’t eat meat for humane reasons. My sister followed our aunt’s lead and went even stricter; she has been vegan for about 30 years.

I firmly believe my health would be much better if I ate significantly less meat and less animal byproducts in general.

I’ve been a vegetarian since 1990, so yeah.

I am okay with poultry, but the thought of red meats is disgusting.

@LostInParadise Why is it different? Because beef or pork are mammals like humans? I never understand why one animal being slaughtered or left to die is different than another. Fish basically suffocate to death. It seems pretty horrible when I think about it.

I understand your point. What I am talking about is the contemplation of the meat flesh apart from the act of eating it.

All the time. It is why I am on a plant based diet with some of my proteins coming from Fish.

@LostInParadise I hope I didn’t come across as judging, I truly was just curious. I’m illogical about the whole thing myself. I don’t eat veal, but plenty of other animals suffer, so it’s similar.
