I’ve had an on-again off-again relationship with meat over the years. I don’t come from family of carnivores but my mother was convinced a child required a certain amount of meat to get all the necessary nutrients. Small pieces of meat were hidden under mounds of applesauce but I managed to find the offending morsels, cheek them, and spit them out after having finished lapping the applesauce. When asked where hamburgers came from she answered “beef” knowing I’d never eat it if she said “cow.”
