I grew up on a farm and it's always funny to me how ignorant people are to their food sources and how outraged people can get over the commonplace. 

I've eaten beef, sheep, chicken, turkey and pig that we referred to, while eating, by the name we called it when it was walking around.  These things often strike people as horrific or bizarre, but 100 years ago, was common practice and a sign that you appreciated your food and where it came from.
