Revulsion towards meat

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else here revolted by the taste, texture, smell, and sliminess of meat? For many years I was a vegetarian but recently I started eating Fish and then Chicken to my diet, though I still don't really like it unless it is prepared just a certain way. Chicken is usually very rubbery, and I hate biting into a hard bone or tendon... sometimes you can also see the blood vessels (or what I think used to be blood vessels). Meat also has skin and hair and sweatglands and blood and it is just gross!

I still don't eat beef or pork and I don't ever intend to. As bad as Chicken and Fish are, these are 10 times worse. Plus they inject the meat with all sorts of chemicals which can't be healthy and then there is diseases to worry about such as mad cow.

I don't eat a lot of meat but I do find it visually and tactile-y creepy. I tend to eat meats that don't look like meat, eg bacon or mince. Unfortunately I have two dogs and have to cut up hearts and livers for them. I buy chicken pieces for them too, which I smash with a hammer and cut up for them. All this dog meat just makes me eat less of the stuff.

One of the worst smells in the world is someone else's barbeque. My neighbours used to barbeque regularly and I used to have to run and close all the windows.

I find pork especially disgusting. I used to like meat, but over time my desire for it has gradually diminished, I now enjoy the occasional steak or chicken breast and the very occasional ground beef containing meal. But overall I prefer vegetable based foods

I find lamb the most disgusting. The smell makes me want to heave.

I grew up a meat-eater. Because of my hyper-acute sense of smell, my mum always used to hold meat out for me to smell if she wasn't sure whether it was starting to go-off. I can't abide the smell of any raw meat to this day.

I have always loved cooking, but couldn't handle raw meat at all, especially any fat. Someone else had to cut it up or handle it for me.

I then became vegetarian for around 6 years and was so much happier not having to smell or handle meat. I'm no longer veggie, as I have added fish to my diet - I don't mind handling fish at all! I wouldn't go back to handling meat though.

Can someone who eats Fish at the exclusion of all other animal proteins still rightly call themelves a vegetarian? What about Fish and Chicken, both? I'm not sure if I can consider myself a vegetarian still, but I don't eat red meats or pork at least.

Someone who eats fish but not meat is not a vegetarian by a long shot. They are PISCATARIAN.

I hate the smell, texture, taste, veins, lumps, gristle, bones. I never enjoyed it as a child and now I am a fully fledged veggie. I used to eat around it. When I did attempt it I would always find a lump of fat or gristle that made me physically sick. The only meat that I could eat was processed meat - mashed up until none of the above things were in it. But even then I hated the taste and feeling of the fat. People often get upset that vegetarians will eat fake meat. I do eat it. It doesn't have any of the things I dislike about meat in it. Its great for protein too.

Never thought before, but perhaps my aspergers is the reason I can't abide meat? Hitler was aspie and he hated meat too... oh er missus.

I won't eat beef or pork.

Well, I started out by loving meat, but when I realized that it was dead animals, I was repulsed by the idea of eating it, so I stopped. Now the smell makes me feel rather ill, and sometimes I have a hard time eating Boca Burgers because they taste so much like real burgers.

I can't stand cold pork for the reasons given above, and something in turkey gives me a bad headache, but other than that, I love to eat meat.

I eat most things. Meat falls into the category of most things. I have been a veggie in the past, but as I lack money and cooking skills (one of those things being necessary to eat a proper meat-free diet) I am not at the moment. Plus there is the major problem that meat is pretty much a staple ingredient in any pie worthy of the name. Other than some pie fillings and sausages/bacon/ham I don't eat much red meat, but I really like lamb balti, and burgers now and then. I would be much hungrier without chicken/turkey, and I haven't found much that swims that doesn't taste good. Sorry....

you don't need much money to be a veggie, dunc. i am living proof.

No you don't - as I said, money or cooking skills.... sadly I have neither. Mel can make veggie food good enough to forget my pies, but sadly doesn't have the time or energy often....
