Meat Aversion
It's not just vegetarians who get grossed out by butcher talk :)

I have a SERIOUS aversion to raw meat. My dh has to prepare things like meatloaf ahead of time for me and put it in a covered pan in the fridge so I can cook it up that week.

I HATE the sight of thawing meat, and can't eat if anyone reminds me of what I am eating. I literally hold my breath when dumping raw meat into a pan and fuhgetaboutit if I have to TOUCH the meat to cut it up.

While eating, if one of my kids mentions anything about the meat in its original form, talks about a bone, or makes any other innocent comment, I have to hold back the spew and leave the table to start the dishes.

It's unfortunate because when I am ignorant and blocking it out, I enjoy meats. But if reminded, I cannot eat it.

My dh says I am a prime candidate for veganism.
