I came back pretty hard after a 9 yr break, but didn't get sick surprisingly. Meat just grosses me out often though now

You know what they say... Either you like bacon, or you're wrong.
This guy gets it.
Yep, I like you.
I used to have a button on my backpack that read: "Bacon is chocolate for men."
My eccentric teacher was vegan except for bacon. She couldn't give up bacon.
Aside from being a history professor, she also came in second place in a professional bagpiping competition, and got married in what is culturally considered to be a modern mental asylum. She was an awesome teacher.
My MIL has been a "vegetarian" for decades, longer than I've known her which is over 30 years. She has always eaten crispy bacon crumbles (but not full slices). Her view is bacon crumbles aren't meat, they're a condiment.
I have a hard time, personally, understanding people's obsession with bacon specifically. I admit bacon is delicious, but if I had to choose between bacon and chicken, I'd have far more difficulty giving up chicken.
I find chicken to be the most uninterting of all of the meats. I still eat it, but it has no wow or mmmmm factor whatsoever.
Part of its appeal is that it's basic. It is a better base for a meal than something like bacon. You can completely change it with seasonings so that it never gets old. It can be prepared in countless ways.
I found giving up cheese to be harder than any meat. Non-dairy cheeses still aren’t quite there yet, but they’re getting better.
There was a period of the internet where bacon was very trendy for some reason, I didn’t quite understand it either.
Yeah, cheese is the one for me. Gummy bears and marshmallows were tough, but cheese... Man, I'm not sure I can make that leap.
Vegan marshmallows just don't do it for me :( I still eat them but I haven't found a brand that isn't too dense.
Matrshmallows that aren't disapointingly airy? Sounds interesting.
I think you may be the target audience. They are more filling though so you can't eat as many. I'm never sure if that is a good thing or not.
that's like when addicts are told to never again even drink one cup of bear and then when they do they go for a liver destroying binge immediately
even drink one cup of **bear **
I can't imagine is the drinking part that kills them but the teeth and claws of the bear as the drinker tries to fill a single cup.
You know what they say: "Bear down for midterms!"
Too soon
Beer with them. They’re trying their beast.

When I stopped eating meat, my biggest craving was for cheap frozen chicken nuggets. Which, never was my 'favorite' meat meal; that'd be fresh venison steaks (as, I come from a hunting family). But something about how 'cravable' nuggets are I guess just hit my lizard brain hard. Went away after about a month though and hasn't returned
Tbh I feel like cheap chicken nuggets are probably the single meat product that the various meat alternatives come closest to mimicking anyway. Granted, it's been a couple years since I went to vegetarianism so I could be losing some of the memory of the taste, but I legit cannot tell the difference between quorn nuggets and frozen chicken ones except that the quorn ones are more expensive.

Pork has no damn business being that fucking tasty, like it's its own fault we eat it.
The idea of your comment disturbed me when I made the connection that historically the native populous of the the Marquesas Islands (known human cannibals) referred to human flesh as "long pig". They would be nodding their heads in agreement with your statement.
Only 2 pounds? Quitter. (/s)
I just..
I think bacon is kind-a gross.
