I'm not a vegetarian (although I'd like to be), but if I had to strangle every animal I wanted to eat with my bare hands, I'd probably become one quicker. Walking the supermarket aisles, it's very easy to look at all the neatly packaged meat, date-stamped and lined up in orderly rows, and think of it as, well, packaged meat.
But there is a danger in this abstraction, in keeping the blinders...
