I Can't Eat Pigs Anymore

Mmm, bacon seeds!

I can look almost any animal in the eye and eat it; cows, chickens, rabbits, fish, all the regular eating animals, but I can no longer eat a pig.

I haven't converted to any bacon hating religion, gone vegetarian, or met any pigs personally - I'm not going to launch a diatribe extolling the virtues of the pig. They may have some. I'm not going to try to convince you that I've reached a higher level of consciousness that no longer allows me to eat my fellow beasts. I haven't. They just don't pass the "look'em in the eye" test anymore.

I'm not adamant. I ordered eggs benedict recently and was a little grateful that I had forgotten it would contain a delicious slab of Canadian bacon, but; I don't buy pork in the grocery store, and I will be more careful when eating out. I thank the turkey, that great impersonator of meats, that really tastes like chicken, I think.

I just hope this new attitude doesn't spread to the other animals, like cows. When I pass a herd of cows these days I don't roll down my window and yell out "Moo!" like I use to. I keep my eyes forward and drive. They're delicious.
