I feel the same exact way- I've seen enough to understand what goes on and I won't watch any more.

Yesterday I was in line at the grocery and the woman in front of me, the cashier and the bagging woman were talking about bacon. I wasn't really paying attention since I was far to busy reading the covers of the gossip magazines. I really didn't even know what they were talking about except for hearing brands of meat. I was wearing a tee that has a picture of a pig and says "I don't have any spare ribs". The cashier said- we like your shirt and I said oh thank you. She said, we feel guilty because we're talking about bacon. So I said well veggie bacon is really good but don't feel too bad- I'm buying chicken and steak for my husband right now. It turns out both the cashier and the bagger used to have pet pigs. They were practically fighting over who was going to tell me the next pet pig story and how sweet they were and how smart they are and all of the amazing things that they did. I just listened and said how cute but I was thinking- OMG then how do y'all EAT them??!! Even when I ate meat I couldn't have eaten an animal if I had had one as a pet. People can be funny.
