...Other than being less prepared to do what I need to to survive if I'm stranded in the wilderness?

I'm from America. Our wet markets(we call ours "farmers markets" as if it's any different) have no animals meant for food. Here I experience all animal products prepackaged in corporate markets. Meat pre butchered in styrofoam trays, wrapped with plastic. The killing process is hidden from customers, done many miles away from the market.

There's two instances I've seen animals for eating before they were consumed. In Hawaii at a luau where they showed the pig to everyone before they killed and cooked it. And abroad in a market where someone was slitting chicken's throats.

I am committed to continuing to eat meat. I think it's kind of shitty of me to not be mindful of the process of how animals end up on my plate. I also want to experience wet markets with less disgust of the act of animals being killed. I think it's unfair of me to judge others for killing for food. I mentally isolate the butcher's role from the rest society. Plus, there are many native peoples for who the process of killing animals is a part of their culture.

    maybe go sign up to fight in a war somewhere? Sufficiently traumatic combat conditions may do the trick. I hear Ukraine desperately needs some more suckers to fill their trenches these days, and don't worry about training or understanding the language or anything like that. just make sure to always volunteer whenever they ask for them and you'll be all good bud.
