It actually may, the effect only lasts about a picosecond though and might be a ghost from the previous state in the measuring equipment.

The purposeful torturing and slaughtering of animals prior to unnecessarily eating them.

Wasteful? Nope. Ever work in a restaurant? Trust me, unless a dish is fucked up, an untouched dish NEVER goes to waste once back at the 'share table'. Everyone gets hungry while on foot all day. Oh yeah, that Chilean seabass gets eaten up right quick.

Note: just read that link. I was slightly wrong. Some people order without thinking. Conspicuous Consumerism I believe is the term for that.

Pro tip: when you order tenderloin and the waiter asks if you want it medium, it is likely not pork. In that case, order it medium rare.

A corpsearian, a person who has the unusual habit of eating animal corpses, gives various names to their found-object "food" choices to lighten-up the fact that they are chewing on a dead thing. Names like "roast beef"[1], "Buffalo wings"[2] and "pork" abound in the corpsearian community. Where they come up with these names is anyone's guess, but they've done pretty well in creating and promoting wordlike memes to semantically disguise the obvious

So much waste, and we'd throw it all away. Man, did we have some fat raccoons hangin around our dumpster, too. Coons had the life. I wonder why hobos never make the pilgrimage to banquet halls during wedding season.

Because they are smart. You think they would win in a fight with a raccoon? Nope, that raccoon would kick their ass.

Making Up with Meat

If you have been without meat for a significant period of time, it is not a good idea to eat a pound of steak right off the bat. Your body is not used to meat and will likely have a hard time digesting it. You may have stomach pains, cramps, gas, diarrhea and/or constipation from eating meat if you have been a vegetarian for a long time. These will pass with time and go away as your body adjusts to eating meat.

Begin gradually introducing animal products into your diet. How you go about this should be determined by how strict of a vegetarian you were. Vegans should add meat slower than those vegetarians who ate eggs and dairy.

Start by eating chicken broth or stock. It is typically light on the stomach and should cause fewer problems. Eat this for a while before adding any other meats.

Eat foods that are flavored with real meat before eating actual pieces of meat. Soups that are flavored with meat are a good way to get used to the taste of meat again.

Eat chicken first. If your body handles that okay, add fish, pork and beef.

Start by eating meat products you liked before you became a vegetarian. It will help with the psychological aspects of the transition.

Try eating meat that is disguised with other foods such as casseroles. The meat flavor and texture won't be as overpowering as simply biting into a big piece of meat.

If the texture of meat is a problem, try sandwich meats. The texture is usually smoother and it doesn't look as much like meat because of the processing. This can help with the mental transition of reintegrating meat.

Eat digestive enzymes with your meal. You can find them at health food stores. Look for supplements that contain HCL with Pepsin. These will help your body break down the meat. Enzyme complexes will also aid with digestion.

Taking probiotics can help with digestion. Your intestines aren't used to breaking down the meat. Boosting your body with healthy bacteria that breaks down foods will help with bloating, gas, cramps, and other digestive problems.

Listen to what your body is telling you. If you are craving something in particular, it may be a sign of something your body is lacking. If your body isn’t handling the meat well, take a step back and integrate the meat into your diet more slowly. If you haven’t had any problems with the meat, then your body is probably telling you that your diet is working

Many vegetarians stopped eating meat for ethical reasons. Eating meat again can often be more psychologically difficult than physically difficult because you may feel that you have violated your principles. A sense of failure is normal because you are not sticking to a chosen diet. Other vegetarians may give you a hard time because you have left their fold. Meat eaters may tease you for abandoning vegetarianism.

What many meat eaters don't realize is that being a vegetarian or a vegan isn't just a diet. It is a lifestyle. Changing your way of life is hard. Especially when the change is being forced on you by health or other factors.

When you start having negative feelings about this, just remember that you aren’t the only vegetarian who has started eating meat again. Think of how much meat you didn’t eat the time when you were a vegetarian. You are not a failure. You are making wise choices for your body. You can also make informed eating choices now. You can eat organic meat and avoid veal and similarly cruel practices.

Changing your way of life is hard.

I imagine it could be, but I haven't changed my way of life. I still eat like everyone else.
