There's something very Themes about how easy it is for meat to be viewed as its own entity, wholly separate from the creature it came from. Like.

It’s about the level of wide-spread derealization required to live inside a meat grinder. This isn’t a person, it’s flesh– pure and disconnected from the suffering inherent to harvesting it. The objectification of consumption, both in a carnivorous sense and a capitalistic one.

And you can do the same thing on a personal level, and have a character view themselves as meat. You have someone that hates themselves so, so much that they split themselves in two, become a body and a brain, just so they have an ‘external’ object to project self-hate onto. Why can’t the body do what I want it to, be what I want it to be? (why am I weak? Why am I suffering? Why can’t I do what i’m told?)
