"Mom, you're not bacon"

The other day Jonah and I had a discussion about eating animals. I talked about how different types of meat (such as bacon and hamburger) come from different animals. I explained that I don't like to eat meat from cows and pigs. I thought Jonah would be confused or disturbed by the idea of eating meat that comes from the types of animals he likes so much, but all of it made sense to him and seemed perfectly natural. He said: "Daddy likes eating meat from pig." He was right. I asked Jonah if he liked eating pigs and cows. He said he did. It's true. Later he mused with a mischievous smile: "Mom, you're not bacon." True also.
