This may be a bit macabre, but since we are what we eat, even if she does become attached to them, your bodies will use their parts to build your families parts & they'll still be with you all. At least they'll be made of love, affection & good eats that can be savored & appreciated. Not a bad cycle to perpetuate!
You're living a life that sounds close to my dream, so I've pondered this as well & I figured I'd eat/sell the ones with traits that aren't symbiotic to my life that I don't want to risk breeding into the world first. Then at least life may get better in their absence, even though I'll still have to process & digest them & deal with hurts that arise. Also, it may lead to better animal care to make them tastier & build better muscles, so win win.
My goal by 2020 is to only eat animals that I'm willing to kill & raise myself or pay out the nose for someone else to do the work that will vouch for their conditions & the meat itself will back their word up. I can't take on much more of the pain & suffering that it feels like I consume with factory meat. I try to make their matters new existence into me one of appreciation & joy as I savor them, but the struggle is real.
Congrats on all your successes so far, your life sounds incredible! I love fasting too & hope it helps me drop some of the excess baggage I've been carrying & keep picking back up.
One easy way to challenge your relationship to food is to decide if it's something you want to build your body out of. I wouldn't make my house out of cardboard & garbage unless it was an emergency so I try not to do that with my body anymore unless I can't resist.
Thanks for the good read & inspiration!
What an interesting perspective. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you too. :)
Although, I was just sitting here & realized I lied. My dream home is an Earthship, so I would actually build my home out of garbage. :P
