Edible dissonance

Marcelo and I saw a bumper sticker the other day. There were super cute chibis of a cow, sheep, chicken and pig topped off with a scolding "DO YOU REALLY EAT THESE?"  I answered without thinking "All of the above" and Marcelo chuckled.
It reminded me of when I was a kid and I'd get attached to the animals on the ranch who often turned into food for our family. I struggled a little with some cognitive (or culinary?) dissonance ...but somehow quickly got over it.
