Quite the quandry. Anyway, this week we took a little daytrip to an idyllic little family farm, and picked up a freezerful of meat. I always thought that it would be worse if I actually saw the animals alive, but I actually feel fantastic about eating these animals. Sure, they're dead, now, but man, they had a great life while they were alive. =) I’ve always been stuck in the situation where I can’t stomach the thought of eating a dead animal, at the same time as I physically feel so much better the more…um… dead animals I eat.

I agree, it is a slow process. And bones in meat? Total deal breaker. I found a piece of cartilage in my chicken once when I was still new to "clawing my way back up the food chain" and I just about lost it. It was my husband's favorite restaurant but I could never go back there again. Give it time and take it slowly. Your body (and if you're like me, your mind) will need time to adjust to it.
