Well, we ,are connected emotionally to what we eat, that is why it is important to eat mindfully regardless of what we consume. Most cultures are conscious of the need to make a sort of "grace" at the beginning of a meal...some cultures actually thank the animal they are about to consume. The problem we have as a "culture" is with out a "godhead" we have no connection to the rituals that made our activities as humans (a rather unique animal in that we can imagine so vividly) more connected to the reality of what we are doing. In fact we live in a culture that says "Don't think about it!" when it comes to eating.
This is what has contributed to the grievous situation we find ourselves in as consumers.
