To give up the taste of sushi or roasted chicken is a loss that extends beyond giving up a pleasurable eating experience. Changing what we eat and letting tastes fade from memory create a kind of cultural loss, a forgetting. But perhaps this kind of forgetfulness is worth accepting -even worth cultivating {forgetting, too, can be cultivated}. To remember animals and my concern for their well-being, I may need to lose certain tastes and find other handles for the memories that they once helped me carry.
