If we were more connected to the meat we eat and where it comes from, and were better at not immediately being repulsed by animal death is more what I mean. Understanding and internalizing that they were once living animals is part of that, but so is being okay with animals dying to feed you, wanting that to happen painlessly and humanely, and not turning away from how meat goes from being part of an animal to being a steak on your plate. Being informed and not having knee-jerk reactions about things like the humane slaughter of animals and processing animals for meat, or the keeping of meat animals, or eating animal parts and products based on the first emotion we have about it. Being thoughtful and well-educated and understanding how it works and why it works that way.
