All meat-eaters are well aware that animals are killed to provide us with protein in our diet and satisfy our cravings for cheeseburgers and bacon sandwiches.
But when you're tucking into a sausage roll or some dinosaur-shaped turkey treats, they seem somewhat detached from their previous living form, wandering around a farmyard.
Not anymore.
A photograph of a piece of bacon with a nipple still attached (yep, an actual pig nipple) is going viral - because it's making everyone feel sick.
Kind of hard to ignore you're eating a once-living creature when its nipple is in your face, isn't it?
One person described the image was "horrifying" while another admitted "I think I'm done eating bacon forever. Can't unsee."
Reddit user goatcoat commented: "It's a bit like eating something that still has eyes."
But that's where it got even worse.
Liontta made a shock confession which will surely put any meat-lover off their bacon: "I almost feel bad admitting this, and I might even get down voted, but whatever.
"But when I worked in a high end retail, the butchers used to intentionally give the nipple bacon out to rude/abusive customers. Usually as a free sample. I personally found it pretty hilarious.
"For anybody who might get upset about this, let me state for the record that it is not dangerous to eat the nipple, it's entirely edible. It just serves as an unpleasant reminder of where food actually comes from, but is otherwise harmless."
One Reddit who spent two years working for a free-range pork producer offered some insight into the matter, commenting: "It will be from a castrated male. The girls are saved for breeding, as are the castrrated males, though the females can be used as ground after their mothering years are complete."
It prompted a discussion on meat-eating in general and one person praised it for reminding them they're eating an animal.
NotSoSlenderMan commented: "I almost became a vegetarian because the ham at Thanksgiving dinner had a vein in it and I was kind of eating around it when my disgusting aunt eating like a disgusting person was gnawing on a piece like a wild animal and exclaimed: 'Oh look at this beautiful vein on this ham!'"
