I grew up in financially straitened circumstances and meat, which was expensive, was a rare thing at mealtimes. We ate meat about once a month, if that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up a vegetarian. Then, because I grew up in the states, I started slowly eating meat. First it was bologna sandwiches, or pepperoni on pizza.
I'm very picky about the meat I eat. I eat grass-fed beef, which is now becoming more common. Yes, it's still more expensive, but it's a very sustainable product.
I didn't grow up eating meat - I was a vegetarian until I was 18.
Beef also was difficult to be procured and exceedingly poor; the price nearly sixpence farthing per pound.
I have heard people eat most heartily of another man's meat, that is, what they do not pay for.
Meat is a big deal in my life. I do love breakfast food, but I don't think that's extraordinary. I'm a normal American. We love eggs and meat and potatoes and gravy.
But I love fish, cheese and meat, and I eat everything, but only in small quantities if it's rich.
I go in the butchers and there's not a lot of meat I can eat these days, with having all the animals.
I grew up in Texas, eating meat five times a day, and I liked meat. But I began being a vegetarian when I was 19 because I found that I felt better.
My mother always cooked, every day, proper food. We didn't have fast food. It was probably pretty much meat and two veg, but as time went on and new things came into the culture, she embraced all of that. I grew up with mealtimes and sitting around the table with proper cooking and eating.
