Or any kind of meat -- just a fuckin chuck of animal muscle, tendon, gristle, sometimes even skin.

I think there'd be a lot more vegetarians if everyone had to do their own butchering.

I suspect there'd be a lot more carnivores if people had to grow their own veggies, too.

Actually, butchering has given me a new appreciation for meat and the variety of cuts.

It definitely gets you over the "ew, there's blood in my pack of chicken breasts."

I know I would be. Of course I already knew I would be if I had to raise my own food.

When I look at it the only way I can eat meat is because I can ignore the fact that it was an animal at the point I eat it.
