Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs and Wear Cows

When it comes to food I'm usually open minded, I like trying different foods that are labeled to be "exotic" to others. I wouldn't say its "physic numbing", I do think about where the food comes from. I sometimes even do my own research online or ask people how they prepare for it. For example, I eat pig blood. I can guarantee that nine out of ten people would find that disgusting and inhuman. Since I perceive it differently, I don't notice anything disgusting or disturbing. To me, bacon is pig, pig blood is still pig. Anything that comes from a pig is pig, it wasn't taught to me nor was it learned. My family members don't eat pig blood and they find it very disturbing. I don't see anything wrong, raw bacon is sometimes even soaked in pig blood. And unlike what the author had said about how people don't visualize their food because it's "natural", I'm actually one of those people who do.
