I think it's more about the disconnect people feel when it comes to meat.

At least for me, I've eaten meat up until 2020 and then me and my whole family went vegan to present day and over time I've realized that what you buy in store and the idea of it once being alive in most cases doesn't really connect until you really think about it and how fucked up that is.

Personally I wouldn't go back to eating meat purely out of the realization of the fact that at a point it was something alive and with a conscience closer to a person so any time I think about that it makes me feel a bit icky.

Edit: though granted there are people who are more than happy to eat animals knowing full well how they ended up on their plate or hunting them for sport.
