@oddtail I've got my own weird hangups, not specifically about *what* I eat, but how. Chicken nuggets from pink slime? Fine. Sausage? Love it. Chicken leg? That's where I run into problems, gnawing meat off a bone. It makes no logical difference whether someone else pulls the meat off the bone first or if I do it myself, but it's still psychological. Gets me too close to my food, reminding me that this thing I'm holding was once alive. Another thing I've tried for recently is to reduce (as much as I passively can) my egg/milk intake. Meat is murder, it's harming/killing animals, sure. But if done right it's only killing them once, and eating meat is a natural process that went on for millions of years before humans arrived, which is how I justify it to myself. But how the vast majority of consumer milk/eggs are harvested, that's practically torture, ongoing suffering of animals for their entire lives. But that's just me, I'm definitely not going to talk anyone else into or out of what they feel comfortable with.
