Feeling bad for food "characters"

40% Normal
12 Comments

When I eat anything that's shaped as something (like a bear, dino, cartoon character, etc) I actually feel bad/sad for eating it. It's like the thing is alive, and I'm killing it and eating it! When I eat fruit snacks, I feel sad for eating them, and I also feel bad for the ones that get eaten last. They had to watch their friends getting devavoured, and now they're thinking one of two things: 1. Why are they last? Must not be good enough or something, 2. They are scared of dying, being eaten!

Surely this can't be normal. I think this way EVERY time I eat "characters" and this has been going on ever since I can remember, even when I was like 4 years old!!!!! I am now in my mid-20s.

    HAHA!!! I am just like that too! Ever since I was really small, I'd feel terrible about it. Oh no and gingerbread men were one of the worst, because they're being eaten alive bit by bit.

    I've mostly gotten over this now, so I can eat with a mostly clear conscience. Or have I become heartless?

    Solution: tear the bag open and shove them down at once.

    I think is very normal, I mean I even sometimes don't like throwing my gum away because it's gonna be lonely or be like why she threw me away.

    It makes me feel uncomfortable too.
    Although, I rarely eat animal-shaped food now that I'm an adult.

    How sweet of you but there is no need to feel bad for eating these things.
    Food, in whatever way it is designed, is just food. It has no feelings and you are just projecting human emotions into it.
    Harmless but nice idea.
