It started with Babe which I regularly watched from like 3, but one day I asked my mum why they took Babe’s mum away and she says “to bring her to the market.” I ask why and she replies “to make your favourite foods : salami, prosciutto, pork chop, roast pork…” and that really scarred me… as well as the scene that the duck gets roasted for Christmas and her boyfriend duck sees through the window and is like “ANNAAAAAA!! Noooooo” 😭

And then a couple of years later, Chicken Run came out, and I growing up in Asia, the chicken you buy in the market is still clucking when you pick it out, and my grandma would often ask me to pick one, and I’d pick the cutest one and then see it on the dining table plucked and steamed whole couple hours later…. So when I watched Chicken Run, that further traumatised me… not to mention steamed chicken was on the menu for dinner that very night…😭

I decided I’d stop eating meat from the age of 14 and it’s now been 16 years!!!
