Thank you for the read, I enjoyed.

I have a brother who went through something similar, he became a vegetarian at a very young age, I cannot remember the reason why now, but he was not as strong as you.

What enticed him back onto meat again was, he became an engineer working on a Cruiseliner sailing around the Caribbean Islands, and every morning when the chefs were cooking bacon for the holidayers breakfasts, the smell coming from the kitchen and into the living quarters, made his mouth water so much, his willpower caved and into a craving, then into an uncontrollable desire to eat a bacon sandwich.

He has been eating meat ever since.

You are right about one thing, and that is 99.999999% have not killed what they eat.

I am from the UK and live in the Philippines with my Filipino wife, and for New Year her family were cooking a "Lechon" (Pig) for the evening dinner, a Filipino tradition.

As we had taken a while to arrive at the family farm, where they live off the farm, I wanted an afternoon power-nap in the back bedroom to recharge myself for the evening celebration, where I had only just laid my head on the pillow, and I could hear this screaming coming from outside the window.

When looking outside to see what the screaming was, a pig was being carried to near the home to be slaughtered.

That noise of screaming ruined my power-nap and I had to go to the front of the house away from the noise, as I knew that if I had not, I would not be able to eat the Lechon in the evening if I stayed in the room any longer.

Isn't it funny how I could not listen or watch, had to take myself away from it all, though when the pig arrived on the table that evening, I did not hesitate to enjoy it with the family! Though I had enjoyed a few beers by then, so that may have helped.

I hope that you do not mind me sharing this story, and I may share with photos on my blog, and if okay with you, I will share your blog on mine, as you are right, these are funny real-life situations that we find ourselves in.
